I find purpose in everything I encounter or else I go out of my mind. So while I am faced with relationship problems and a lot of self doubt, here I am trying to list down what I learned about love and relationship in the past year.
The most important thing I learned is that RELATIONSHIP is a lot of hard work. My Mom once told me, during one of our coffee sessions, that love needs nurturing. Without proper care, it will wither and die. The kind of love in a relationship is not unconditional.
Once when I was growing up, imagining my prince charming on a white horse coming to my rescue in slow motion, I wanted a love story that is easy. I thought when love is easy, love is real. I thought when love is natural, it's meant to be. But like I said, RELATIONSHIP requires work. A whole lot of patience and acceptance.
Just like a normal job, without passion and willingness to stay, you'll find yourself stuck in a loop. And soon when you find the courage to quit, you'll take it instantly and leave. Just like that, you'll end up desperate to find a replacement.
The second thing I learned is that RELATIONSHIP is not a trophy. Spiderman once told the public, "Great power comes with great responsibility." Well, that's true in this case. Having a relationship is not an accessory. It's not a formula. 1 + 1 does not make 2. Relationships are responsibilities, and there's no pride in being in a relationship. It's not a trophy to dangle out to your friends and colleagues. It's a not a competition and winning doesn't mean anything.
