ON RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand help in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold some of it, but most will be spilled.
A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

How true can that be huh? Ironicly, i read this quote thousand times but I haven't learn anything from it... until I need to blog about it.

NO! I did not break up with anyone lately!!! But it doesn't just work with boyfriends and girlfriends..


I been thinking, I could be a little too jealous and domineering with a friend of mine. Maybe a little could be too much. I couldn't help it, it is just me!! Cared to much of that someone and not knowing I had crosses the line..in short, I'm being possessive...oh baby, forgive me!

Now, I'm proud to say that I'd fallen in love! To whom?

that's still a secret.. shhh!! Although some of you had already known.. but please keep your mouth shut!

But then again, she DOES/could/might/maybe/doesn't/wouldn't felt the same way about me. And why I don't know any of the response? Is just me being ball-less to directly question her

"HEY, I LIKE YOU, DO YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY OR IZZIT JUST ME FEELING FUNNY?"
of course not, our relationship been screwed up lately, even our friendship is leaking... so let me get hang of it.. i'll repair the leak and THEN I GO!!!

Life is short i know, and soon I'll be leaving. The pain before had been like a dagger impale into my heart, but that still wouldn't stop me man!!

==========================================

When an emotional injury takes place,
the body begins a process
as natural as the healing
of a physicial wound.
Let the process happen.
Trust that nature
will do the healing.
Know that the pain will pass, and,
when it passes,
you will be stronger,
happier, more sensitive and aware.
