We become more tolerant on our parents when we realize they're not gona live forever... same thing with our relationships, when someone promises us their forever it should not be the reason to be comfortable. We must strive and do our best to make sure that our partner doesn't feel neglected. We can't always provide the same assurance everytime but we must never cease to try our best.

Don't look for similarities when you go into a relationship. Having something in common is temporary, even though you don't have the same interest as long as you are willing to adapt on your partner's interest then you're good. Differences is what makes relationship interesting. What's important is you have mutual respect for each others work and interests eventually as you grow old together you will learn to do things together and share life in the same manner.

25th of September

I would never forget this day... The day when I get to look in to your eyes and say I love you.

Comfort is not your friend, it is not a place to stay but a state of which a man should not linger in. Challenges in life is what makes us strong it is the decisions we struggle to make every day that makes life meaningful and it is the risks that we take that brings fullfilment to the journey. We are in a pursuit of happiness but it is those risks that make it worth having. Fear must not reside in our heart. Pain is temporary, it may last a day, a month or even a year but eventually it will subside. But if we'll never take a risk, if we'll never take that one small step towards the future, to risk failure for success to risk loneliness for happiness or to risk pain for love then that fear will only break our heart.

The older I get the more I value loyalty than honesty.

Freedom Inside of a Relationship

Freedom inside of a relationship does not imply a lack of concern and commitment for our partner. Rather, because we are free, we are free to choose to enter and remain into a caring relationship. Caring and commitment are neither burdens nor prison when they are freely chosen. Because we are not trapped, feeling that the people on whom we depend will drift out of our grasp, we do not have to try to maintain an iron grip on others. Our relationship with someone are not as prisoners on a chain but as dancers in a most delightful dance.

Emotions

Sadness is okey, getting disappointed is alright, being lonely isn't that bad. These emotions are essential in having a healthy spirit. It makes the experience of life more meaningful and interesting for it provides perspective of the journey of the human spirit.

Another Kind of Love

There's another kind of love, a love for one's self for it is only when we love ourselves that we can give love to someone else. It is only when we value what we have and our worth that we can learn to value the worth of others and respect them. Love is not about finding someone who would make you complete but being with someone to whom you can share your completeness.

I wonder how a person who was a complete stranger suddenly would mean the world to me. I knew nothing about his past and he has no idea what I've been through, both of us had been happy in the past and had suffered pain, both got involved with someone and yet now sharing our experiences and planning our future together. If God is love then God is within me, for I never love another person the way I love him now. I wonder how many had fallen in loved with his smile, at how beautiful he looks when he wakes up in the morning, his innocent soul that reflects in his eyes, at how he loves someone more than he wanted to be loved because it is never about himself, at how he makes every effort to make someone else happy for that brings him happiness too. Do they ever notice that. Well i did and i feel lucky to have fallen in love with with a man whose passion for love is an equal measure to my own. To have ever looked at him and sees him for what he's worth. His name is Jan.

Dear Jan,

The people I've met were not equal to you and I doubt whether those I have desired were your equal. I try sometimes to imagine your face when you are old, and it seems to me that I shall love you as much, perhaps more.

Irony

The ironic fact is that there is more than enough food, water, fuel, and so on to satisfy the actual needs of everyone on the planet. But there is not enough to satisfy everyone's greed. Even if it were physically possible for you to consume all the food, water, fuel in the world, you would still not be satisfied, for "material food" cannot satisfy spiritual craving.

I'm in love with someone who's still trapped in the closet.

Our expectations should be tantamount to the effort we exert. We can't expect something we ourselves are not willing to provide.
