As far as im concerned, relationships are hard to maintain and thats why many fail. If you're just a person that cant see putting in at least 50 percent of the partnership, then a relationship is probably not for you. Some people tend to jump blindly into something that they aren't prepared with because of the "honeymoon" affect of it, but coming from somebody who went through hell for five years, i'm here to tell you: it's difficult and deserves the patience of a saint and the work of a slave. Im not saying it's not worth the good times nor is it worth the bad times, but it can wear you down if you can't handle the work. Fortunately, there are people that require very little work to make things go right, but you should expect nothing but the absolute dedication it may require. The failures ive incurred in my relationships has humbled me in such a way that i now understand what is going to be required in me as well anyone i may enter a relationship. Not having a partner does not diminish me in any respect, but it is a lonely process. Conciously, im at peace with where im at, but everyone has the longing to find "the one." I'm happy i went through what i went through or i wouldnt have the insight that i have now. And thats why i respect the relationships and friendships that have begun, ended, and may come in the future. But the real question on my mind is: why does it still bring such disappointment upon me? One day, i will have that answer. For now? Im just happy with what ive got from what ive had to go through. Hopefully, there are people in the world that feel the same way. Today will start with a smile. And others to come will too. =) <3 Jessa
