Easy As It Is

Relationship is like a car. It needs to be geared up by the owner and be equipped with proper tools before traveling and be able to use it for years and years. And once the person enters the car, he has to be ready. The driver doesn't just sit back and relax, then he enjoys the ride. No, it isn't like that. He has to operate the wheels. He encounters different things as he travels along the street; traffic, reckless drivers, bad or good weather and many more. It is up to him how he handles those challenges. If he drives hastily, his car may crash. But if he drives smoothly, he can reach his desired place safe and with his car intact.

Just as relationship... Two persons have to be equipped with love, trust, fidelity, and the like before entering an affair. As they go through it, they inevitably battle with different challenges and rocky stages. If they pass all challenges, they will definitely end up together. Driving is attached with traffic rules to obey and relationship is attached with rules to follow and limitations to consider.

Every relationship is high-maintenance. It requires dozens of effort and tolerance. Both parties must contribute. On its first stage, it feels like utopia. No probbies, just pure bliss. But as time passes by, everything turns to be heavy. Various emotions turn up; sadness, jealousy, hatred, anger, and happiness. These emotions are perceived when things happened. The couple feels sadness when they part ways and miss each other; jealousy when one is too close to another opposite sex; hatred when one forgets anniversary or any special occasion; anger when one becomes unfaithful; and they would be the happiest couple if they grow old together. =)

Relationship may be hard to keep up. But sometimes, it is only the couple who makes things difficult and complicated. The time is perfect and all things they need are in their hands, but they still create problems out of nothing. For instance, the never-ending cheating issue. The typical scenario in our society, boys cheat on their girls. Boys' cliche reason is what they call their "nature". They say "We are just human; weak and get seduced." Grounds are not acceptable. God gave us free will to be able to think of and choose the right one. So why cheat? Hence, they choose to cheat, not their nature choose to cheat. The so-called "nature" is a mere defense mechanism.

If a couple wants to last their relationship, they have to look straight. no swagging. Trust your partner. Be loyal. Take care of him/her. Love one another. And be consistent. Lemme see if you won't end up together. =) It's fine if things or other people try to ruin your romance, just don't let yourselves ruin it. Instead, you build it. It's much better to hear the phrase "you and me against the world" rather than "you versus me in a perfect world".

Taking care of a relationship is easy as counting 1,2,3. Just don't let harsh things and heartless people come your way, neither get destructed by yourself. A little kid can count, and so can you. Start from zero 'til you reach infinity... As in being with him/her with no end....


P.S. After I wrote everything, I just realized... I used too much METAPHOR. Hahaha... :D I just got this idea from the "Prom" movie.  Thanks for reading! :)
