What do you think about this?

Relationships have a unique way of replaying in your mind. Sometimes you wonder how someone is doing and other times you know that person is doing well without you in their life. It鈥檚 hard not to think about all you鈥檝e and the other person has put in a relationship to have it thrown away after some time.





There are times when you think that you and someone else might have so much history, but the truth is, that history has no value when ego and pride gets involved. The past, habitually, has no value when the present seems to be going great.





People will come into our lives, and they all will remain with you for different amounts of time; some for a limited time and others for eternity. Sometimes, when they leave, some people and relationships wont matter anymore and then there are others who will always hold a place in your heart and take a piece of you when they part.





Sometimes you have to accept that no matter how much one person has said something, things and relationships will and have changed.





Sometimes you have to realize that even if you take the initiative to rekindle a relationship, the truth is that the ball is in the other person's court and if they don鈥檛 reciprocate back, it's ok because they probably had the right reasons not to.





Sometimes you just have to walk away and not look back for the sake of the other person's happiness and eventually what will, one day, be your own.





And sometimes, as hard as it is, you just have to move on because you can鈥檛 keep holding on to a relationship that the other person has already let go of.What do you think about this?

do you mind if i quote this from you?


in my essay?


it would be very much appreciated, but i'd need to know your first name so i could quote it directly





thanksWhat do you think about this?
so deep inside I could feel it
How true you speak.
very true....
Yeah, this is pretty much exactly where I'm at...
That was very gripping and beautiful. And so so true. Recently, I've had to walk away to allow someone their happiness and looking back now, I'm glad I did.
Nice, I like it, it's honest but a little common.
You have neglected to consider, i think, that your own perception is your reality. You also have a choice in your memories and what's in important in your histories. MEANING: Jan, Jill, and Jenny all met when they were 5 years old. Twenty years later...Jan still tells Jill all her secrets and considers her to be her best friend. Jill, however, considers Jenny her best friend. Jan doesn't find out till when Jill gets married and asks Jenny to be her maid of honor, that the girl she considered to be her best friend from childhood, didn't think the same way about her. Was she foolish? Does this lack of reciprocation of ';best friendshipness'; change the history they had? Was any of it fake? or was it just was she percieved it and how she choses to change her perception or leave her memories?


If you're in a relationship with somebody and you 've got a lot of time invested and told them your inner most stuff, and they burn you..cheat...move away...lie...whatever. ...after 5 years, they come back.. You can CHOOSE to remember all the greatness and the inner sharing...or you can CHOOSE to remember the pain, suffering and loss, and what led up to the ultimate last minutes together. Either way...they're YOUR experiences. YOU shared..doesn't mean THEY were EVER honest. On the other hand....maybe they HAD to leave and the suffering they caused you was the lesser of two evils and their world was more messed up than yours.


The TWO people (or more) in a relationship are not the ONLY people to be considered. OUTSIDE forces always have an effect. An ailing parent can affect a decision to take a job in another city. A recovering alcoholic is probably better off (at least initially I'd think) not socializing with the same-ole drinking crowd. The CROWD may make the decision to reject the alcoholic and help them stay sober...he may feel rejected and betrayed, however THEY've done him a HUGE service and have tried to help him.





You can give you heart to whomever you want. Expect nothing in return. Time is relative. It can mean everything and it can mean nothing. A couple married for 50 years may not have a glimmer of affection for each other, regardless of their time spent together. Parents who have 5 minutes with their newborn and it mysteriously passes have an experience and depth of love with that child that will last forever. You can't base a relationship on time alone. Without time, there is no history. The relationships you think about, you're thinking about history. Do you spend more time thinking about the selective moments in history than you spent actually IN the relationship? Is it worth it?





If a relationship ended..it was for a reason. Good bad or otherwise... FOCUS ON the current, present and NOW...and working for a better tomorrow.. Learn from your history. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from your relationships that have ended and those than have endured. Work to make new ones, better ones, and stronger ones. Don't hold on to things that you really don't have in the first place. Your perception of what you have in a relationship may not be the same as the other person's perception...and since you can't truly know what another persons thoughts are, regardless of what they say.. MY opinion, is to take it for what it is...at face value. THEY moved on..or YOU moved on..then move on. There is no going back. The choice was made for a reason. That's all there is...live your life...get over it...get through it...and make your HERE and NOW count.
I have ADD so I couldn't finish reading the novel you wrote above. I'll sum what I read up in a nutshell. A true friend is one you can go years without talking to, but the minute you see each other again, it's like you just saw him/her yesterday.
nicely said
