...Well, here I go again! I was thinking today about relationships. Not just between a person and their significant other but all types of relationships. The one thing I realized is that, by and large, all types are somewhat complicated. Complicated because we are all individuals and as individuals we are unique in so many ways. We could search the world over and never find a duplicate of ourselves. Sure, we can find someone who looks almost identical or thinks somewhat the same but we will never find a true 100% match to ourselves. Even Identical twins are not 100% identical. Each one is an individual and has their own thoughts and ideas.
So, with this in mind, how do we forge, foster, improve or repair relationships. Keep in mind that I have not gone to school to be some counselor or that I have a masters in some related field. My school doesn't hand out degrees! My school doesn't charge per unit. It doesn't issue grades( wait...it sort of does). My school is everyday life and I imagine that you and I have been learning the same lessons. Some of us keep repeating the same mistakes over and over , while others are able to move on and get a "Lesson Learned" patch to sew on their heart.
Relationships are one of the most, if not the most, important elements of being human. Those around us can make us happy, sad, angry, hurt, annoyed, love, smile,frown...etc...etc. Relationships are constantly evolving, sometimes for the worse and sometimes for the better. We are always meeting new people and we add them to our lives or not. Sometimes it is a short meeting or a long friendship or more. Sometimes it is one that is never forgotten or, perhaps, it is one we wish we never had. In the end it is a lesson learned all the same.
This is the part of life that is most confusing, difficult and ...... YES..... VERY COMPLICATED..... but I wouldn't change it for the world. Relationships are why we LOVE!
