Relationship

A relationship should be a compliment between two whole people. A relationship should be born from the desire from two complete people to bond in such a way that they genuinely enjoy each other's company. It's a moment where he can appreciate her for who she is and vice-versa. A relationship should be growing together and realizing that all relationships are born of chemicals.

A relationship should be wanting to stick by each other's side through the worst storms. It is realizing that life will continue to throw tests at your relationship until you one day get to such an amazingly torturous test that it shakes the foundation of all that you two built together. A strong relationship is weathering that test because you are a stronger bond than any type of chaos present in the universe.

A true relationship is waking up to them each morning and, despite all their flaws, you continue to love them more each day. A true relationship is the realization that, although the chemicals and first spark are amazing, that you have to fight the long fight together. A stable relationship is being able to be dropped anywhere in the world with your significant other and taking hands and walking together -- you'd die for each other because it is just the right thing to do. A true relationship is never abandoning the other -- never cheating despite insane temptations. It is the realization that the sex may get old, but it is YOUR sex and YOURS alone. A true bond is the understanding that you both took an oath to be at each other's sides and suffering the worst that life throws at you while always reaching out to grab your lover's hand. When you fall, they pick you up. When they fall, they smile and bring you back to your feet.

That's true love -- and it takes two very mature people to realize that, all in all, we're all people with the same basic needs. The grass may seem greener, but grass is grass and when it comes down to it, we need to stick by the promise and keep our positions firm.

It's not easy, I know but this is something we need to remind ourselves of - now and then.
