On Relationships...
What a relationship is all about...
It is about sharing,
It is about caring,
It is about forgiving,
It is about tolerating aberrant behaviors...
I have my own doubt whenever I embark on a journey that involves relationship with others, be it as friends, close friends, or romantic ones. Sometimes the feeling was so immense that it urged me to give up even before the journey started. Sometimes I managed to overcome my doubts and embarked on a journey. Often times, my journeys were timeless and often times they were short ones.
I once embarked on a journey of friendship which turned out to be nothing but false masquerade.
I once embarked on a journey of romantic relationship which turned out to be nothing but false suggestive feelings.
I once embarked on a journey of mere friendship which turned out to be an everlasting discovery that nourished my soul and nurtured my conscience.
I once embarked on a journey of mere romantic relationship which turned out to be a journey worth remembering for the rest of my life.
They say first impression counts, but who are they to judge? What if what is seen on the surface is not what it is on the inside? The shell is nothing but mere ornament. It is the heart that accounts for everything. Whoever thought that ordinary people that are friends with me turned out to be the people whom I could trust even with my life? Whoever thought that extraordinary people who extravagantly claimed that they were my truest friends were mere impostors?
So if you ask me what a relationship is all about...
It is about... learning, educating, knowing, discovering, inventing, supporting, waiting, staying, sharing, caring, tolerating, communicating, forgiving, forgetting, thinking, and most of all... it is encapsulated in "loving"...
Blessed are the people who say nothing yet did something,
Blessed are the ones who find them and blessed are the ones who seek them,
Words means nothing unless they are said and done.
A relationship is a journey. It can be a neverending journey, and it can also be a short stop. There are choices and with every choice, there will be consequences. Nonetheless... a relationship worth keeping will worth every single consequence in life...
(Dedicated to my loved ones: GK, YS, ML, DS, RY, VC, KS, EK, and all others... Love you all with all my heart and thank you for making my life a lifelong journey of learning....)

I'm agreeing to all that you have said, adding that relationship should be also about trust and honesty. Something that I think you left out. But everything else is nicely written =)
Hi, no, I didn't forget about trust and honesty. But I'm talking about relationships where trust and honesty have been established. Trust and honesty is the "basic" necessity for a relationship to work, no doubt, but to develop a relationship, you need to do something else. Beside, would you care to share something about yourself if you were dishonest or the person were untrustworthy? Thanks for the critic though, and thanks for reading.
Oh okay, for that case, then my bad..hheheh...
