Of Love and Relationship

Well, I don't think I am the best person to write this as I don't have a good, long lasting relationship which pretty very much boils down to the fact that I am single now. I did had a relationship... oh well, that was in the past and I don't wish to talk about it. :)

Anyway, back to the topic. I happened to stumble onto HuiRong's blog and read about her most recent entry and it talks about relationship. One part that strike me most is a quote she wrote.

Quote: If you really love someone set it free. If it comes back it's yours, If not it wasn't meant to be.

For years, I had always held this quote true like a guiding principle. But some how over time, when we fall in love, we just loss sight of this basic principle. We tend to grab it so tight and refuse to let go when the time is up and telling us that it is just never meant to be. However, we being too stubborn, just keep telling ourselves that there is still hope, hope that the other person will change, hope that things will work out some how and so on and so fro. However, ever since I started on this journey of singlehood, the true meaning of this quote start to make sense to me once more.

Enough of that, maybe I will share more interesting quotes about Love and Relationship, that is what this post is about. There are a few very meaningful on HuiRong's blog, I will just share another one.

Quote: Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

This one is from my secondary teacher which I find it very interesting.

Quote: Marry the person you love and love the person you marry.

This quote is meaningful in the context now. Many a time, people just fall in love with a person whom they set sight on and then get marry and thought that it is the end. That loving feeling just stop some time after marriage when people tends to see whom the person really is inside, then slowly one party will start to find fault with the other party. This is why the divorce rate is really high in recent time.

Some time, won't it be better if we can see people beyond that pretty or handsome face and get to know that person as who he or she really is inside. It is through this understanding of whom the better half truly is inside he/she then can other things like trust and respect start to grow. Love is like wine in which it must grow over time. The longer it is, the better it get. The main key is love, communication, understaning, trust and respect.

I am very much enjoying the single lifestyle I am having now and not in hurry to find love again. I am just taking my time, slowly, who knows, maybe the right one might appear when I least expected. Let it free, maybe it will just come.

Alrighty, guess that is all for now. I will share more when I think of anything.
