Story of my life.

Nothing worth having comes easy.

In a relationship, we need to understand that it’s not all about fun and games. Sometimes we will go through tough times; times that will deliberately push us to the limit of our breaking point. It’s not that we don’t want it to happen, it just does. All we can ever do is fight for what we have. Don’t let is slip away too easily, because you’ll never know, maybe what you have right now may be the best you’ll ever get. Show them how much worth they have to you, show them you’re not ready to let go, show them you’re NOT going to let go. In case you have, or may be be going through this downhill stage in your relationship, always remember to fight. It’s the effort that counts. REMIND THEM WHY YOU LOVE THEM, remember the times where you were at your happiest. Bring back those memories and to remember how it felt while it lasted: the butterflies in your stomach, the smiles, the love. All you can ever do is prove to them how much you love them. Don’t let go so easily, bring back that joy into your relationship. I know how much you really do love to see them smile. Don’t you miss the way they used to smile at you? If so, please don’t let go. This relationship of yours is worth TOO MUCH to throw away. Make it last. And always remember that one point in time when you’d do anything just for a shot of their love ♥

We look for love, not because its lonely to watch movies alone..

Not because its sad to eat our meals on our own..

And not because its nice to cuddle up with someone a rainy day..

Instead, we look for love because we want to be accepted;

for the sloppy way we dress,

for the clumsy way we eat our meals,

for the bad hair days,

and for the simplicity in us.

Love is an act of ACCEPTANCE.
That within our imperfections, we are accepted and loved :)

Who the hell believes in forever? I just live for now until whenever.

Let’s grow old together… beginning with today.
Let’s work slowly with each other and build a relationship that we can both enjoy being a part of.
Let’s share love and understand that neither of us is perfect; we are both subject to human frailties.
Let’s hold each other close and whisper though the night—pledging our love, honoring our commitment.
Let’s encourage each other to pursue our dreams, even when we’re weary from trying.
Let’s expect the best that we both have to give and still love when we fall short of our expectations.
Let’s be friends and respect each other’s individual personality and give one another room to grow.
Let’s be candid with each other and point out strengths and weaknesses.
Let’s understand each other’s personal philosophy, even if we don’t agree.
Let’s lie awake long into the night sharing our innermost secrets.
Let’s be friends as well as lovers.
Let’s laugh at time and plan with each other and wonder how we ever got along without this love we’ve found.
Let’s never take for granted these moments that we’ve shared, but always be reminded of how intensely we have learned to live, how completely we have learned to love.
Let’s grow old together… and look back on life and smile.
I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be.

Being in a relationship is scary. There are many aspects to it. It takes trust, patience, and understanding. It takes time. Sometimes. It comes with doubts. Am I good enough? Why am I so boring? Are they bored? Do they feel the same? All these thoughts. It makes you work harder. It makes you change things up. The thought of them not feeling the same. The thought of you feeling more for them than they do for you. It’s scary. The thoughts of “it’s going to be like last time” or the fear of losing them after coming so far. Just the fact that at anytime, they can walk out of your life. It’s a pessimistic thought. But it really is true. That’s why we all have to fight for love. We all have to break barriers and tear down walls for love. We change, lifestyle changes. Things we go through to keep what we have strong. It’s all worth it, if you make it worth it.

[I love you] means that I accept you for the person you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I do not expect you to be perfect. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means when you’re in a bad mood I won’t leave you and try to make you better. It means loving you through all your emotions not just when you’re fun to be with. It means that I could know your deepest secrets and not judge you for them. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means through all our fights, we will find a way to resolve it, and learn from it.

Lesson Learned.

I met this guy five years ago. He was an amazing guy - chivalrous, honest, warm, friendly, good-hearted and well meaning - The kind you’d bring home to Mom and Dad. Everybody loved him, and who wouldn’t? He was the perfect first real boyfriend, and there was no catch to it.

Being with someone that caring, involved and genuinely kind was something I got used to. He was the kind of guy who made sure everything was okay and went the extra mile in pleasing his partner in all aspects. He struck a great balance between being strong in the relationship and managing to remember girly stuff like dates, monthsaries, and songs.

I took all this for granted. Perhaps it was this kind of consistent, unfaltering devotion that made me complacent, and led me to feel less in love and get curious about what else was out there. Eventually, the relationship ended. I thought: if he was like that, were other men also built that way? I found out much later on that, that wasn’t necessarily the case.

No break up is ever easy. It is a painstaking process of repeatedly cutting ties and attempting to renew each one. After being single for a while, dating all sorts of guys and getting disappointed and heart broken several times, I learned that it was hard to find a good man with a good heart like the one I had. I wanted him back.

But by then it was too late, he had already moved on. The thing with men is that they get hurt deep, but they recover somehow, some way and call your bluff. For them, there’s no turning back. Unlike girls, guys hardly bend the break up rules. Life goes on, and for most of them it gets better.

I’m in a new relationship for 3 years now, and this guy and I have gone back to being complete strangers. Looking back, I no longer regret breaking up with him. Initiating being single and discovering myself was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I now have a solid, love-filled commitment even when I thought I’d already run out of good men and had already given up love.

These days, it’s still easy to complain, whine and nitpick like when my boyfriend gives a blank stare when I launch into a monologue or when he makes me wait for more than an hour. But I am more careful now..like when my guy does something special, even the small things, I recognize the sweet gesture and say thanks. I savour each loving move knowing not everyone is capable of this unselfish devotion and 100% commitment.

If you think life is bad now, how would you like to be an egg? You only get laid once. You get eaten once. It takes 4 minutes to get hard, only 2 minutes to get soft. You share your box with 11 other guys, but worst of all, the only chick that ever sat on your face was your mom! So cheer up, your life isn’t that bad.
