A road less travelled

 
Relationships offer a sense of belonging, a bed of comfort and a beam of sunlight to many. Combined with years it turns into something only it's participants can explain, an incomphrehensable feeling I tell you. However like every good thing out there, it's accompanied by something completely opposite. Some relationships are toxic as youve probably... guessed, others are only existent because of an individuals rank...and the "genuine" one's you're wondering, what about the genuine one's? Well sadly those are rare.. distinct if we may call it that. 
 
A sense of entitlement accompanies a relationship, at arms length ofcourse mainly because expecting someone for "them" is not a price many are willing to pay. Hence the institution of marriage. Nevertheless in this fast paced lifestyle, vows don't seem reason enough to refrain some people from doing as they please. Sad isn't it? The epitome of relationships in my eyes like Sylvia Plath stated "I know now how deeply, fearfully and totally I love you, beyond compromise, beyond mental reservations I've had about you, even to this day" in actual fact it doesn't take a lot to love one another in the manner above, it takes patience, kindness, compromise and compassion.


Evidently a "perfect relationship " rule book seizes to exist. Hence crying over spilt milk never left anyone with a full jug of tears either.It only changed your Persona to " I'm still obsessed over you, I need you, I refuse to live or breathe without you" Crazy isn't it? Giving another humanbeing so much power over yourself. Power you yourself can't implement in your OWN life. However whether you've suffered a bad experience due to being in love or youret bound to..#NB:no jinxing intended# with this statement..regardless what the situation is...Bouncing back is essential, because lying in a muddy puddle of lies, delusion and being desperate for another's attention just shows how afraid you really are of persuing "You".. Im not promoting Singledom but its a road less travelled which brings self discovery and peace..believe you me, I've walked that road...it's a dose of confusion at first and as the days pass it gets lonelier. at the end though you see that its actually not that bad being in a state of solitude. Its refresgingly rare..and beautiful..
It's a proven fact that we humans need a "better.half" to share lifes special moment's with, to have an hour's worth of meaningless conversations with,afterall it's scientists who say it's Therapeutic and it has proven to be.
At the end of the day.. we seek different things but finding that balance teaches us to display compassion,kindness and many things only those inlove can describe.. All ones wants is affection, time and a mere sense of belonging when our life becomes too overwhelming. It's love.. it really does make the world a better place.
