I have come to realize that with every friendship I build there is the potential of it turning into an everlasting relationship of some sort, some people come and go and they leave their mark on us, teaching us what we needed to know before they moved on, while others stay and are there for us through good times and bad, they might not speak to us daily but it doesn't mean they do not care, how do we handle these relationships we have, how do we treat each of them individually, do we show them the love and respect they deserve or do we use them or let them use us? Hmm, as these thoughts stir within my head and as I release them for you to read, I love and respect each of them equally.
How do you define a Relationship really? What changes a friendship into something more? What are the determining factors that seal the deal and make up your mind that you no longer want to be single? Before making that decision and expressing those feelings you have with another? Do you change your behavior bc you are now going to be in a relationship with someone or do you remain the Same as you were when they first met you? Remember you do not know who you will end up being with later in life, how you act now and how you act then should not change. Bc you should always be you, right?*
I guess what I am trying to say is always be real, don't be afraid of who are as an individual, love freely, and speak from the heart, in the end your soul mate will be the one who loves you for you. (they see the real person inside us) it's not about looks but the energy that draws us to one another, the raw and real electricity that is found when 2 become 1... Sometimes it takes many years and many partners to find the one. While for others it just takes one time. We cannot judge bc it's not our place, it's trail and error just like with everything else in life, but it doesn't mean that we shouldnt choose wisely.
I try to start off every relationship I currently have as friends, I do not know if things will develop into anything more with any of them, I figure let them get to know me, if we click and feelings develop I have a life long friend with each and every one of them, there is only 1 I will marry, and I know that when he enters my life I started the relationship off right with a solid base as Friends.
