I was talking to a friend today and asked them how their love life was going. We have been friends for over 10 years and it had been a while since we communicated with each other. With true friends, you want nothing more than to see the other happy. Our discussion took the turn too many others do. He was trying his best to make things work but his mate runs hot and cold. Until they make it known how unhappy they are, the other person showed no real interest to be "nice" to them.
There are many things I don't understand in life and this will continue to be the one I don't get. Why is it so hard for "us" to show appreciation to our mates. Why do we have to lose them in order to appreciate them? What will it take to end this vicious cycle? We have heard many times it is very easy to take someone for granted. When they leave, the other person becomes bitter, lashes out at the ex or even the new person in their life. Ask anyone who is on the "dating scene" now. Too many people trying to play games and not taking care of "home". Better try to hold on to what you've got and take care of home!
Actions have consequences and I always tell people, live your life without regrets. If you do something wrong and you know its wrong, be prepared to live with the consequences.
The person that penned this quote was telling the truth:
"Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day, and realize that you’ve lost a diamond, while you were too busy collecting stones."- unknown
If you have a good man or woman in your life, don't push them away. Give them the love and respect they deserve. If you can't do that and one day they get tired and leave, do not be bitter. Get better for the next person. We should after all learn from our mistakes. This is, after all, how we grow and mature!
Peace, love and blessings!
Until next time!
