Why should relationships NOT stand the test
of time? What reason could there possibly be that this is not just the norm?
the dictionary describes relationship as being ‘the way in which two or more people or things are connected,
or the state of being connected.’
So when you
meet somebody, and you gel with them, or when you ae born into relationship,
one would think that this lasts. That you have found your best friend. Your
lover. Your partner. Because they ticked the blocks and you ticked theirs.
However as
human beings, we change. We adapt, we evolve. And for many people that means
their partnerships and romances and friendships as well. The connection changes.
It may fade.
In my life,
there have absolutely been relationships that have stood the test. People who
have come into my life not only for a season or a reason, but for a lifetime.
These people
have left footprints in my heart. And if I had to attempt to ascertain what has
made them different, I can absolutely say unconditional love. Friends. Friends
of family. Family of friends. Older, younger. It doesn’t matter. It is built on
mutual respect, mutual contact and effort, and zero expectations – just
celebration in what you have with each other and in each other.
These are not
the norm, these are the exception. And when you find the, honour them.
Recognise them. and never stop appreciating them.
