Some People always look at the color of the cup instead of what is filling it.
Some People dedicate all their energy to other people and find they have none left for themselves.
some people...
enough of that.
People do alot of things. Most of us have no control over what other or some people do. We DO have control over what we do.
So im going to get back to what i started: the Real Talk Chronicles. Those of you reading this that know what im refering to...kudos.
Real Talk 101 (the 3rd installment i beleive)
"how lovely is your dwelling place, Oh Lord of hosts,
my soul longs, even faints, for your courts.
and my heart and flesh sing for joy, to the Living God.
For a day in your presence is far better to me then gold,
or living my whole life somewhere else.
And i would rather be a doorkeeper in your fold then to take my fate upon myself.
For you are my sun, and my shield, and you have loved me from the start,
and the Highway to your City runs through my heart." -holy scripture-
Honesty, Fidelity, and Communication. The three main ingredients for any sucessful relationship. Then why are soo many couples out there like sinking ships? Where is the disconnect? I beleive out of the three the disconnect occurs in Fidelity. People dont think about what they are getting into. The fire flares for a month or two or maybe a year...and without a constant supply of oxygen, like any flame, it dies down. It almost seems inevitable, but every once in a while a relationship works and lasts...And they say "it just worked!"
Let me make it clear. that is the exception to the rule! Once the fidelity foundation becomes shakey, then communication slacks (sometimes due to guilt or just lack of interest), and then lastly Honesty tumbles down as well because there is a lack of trust fostered by less open communication. The lack of trust causes people not to be fully honest which in the end leads to outright lies. And TADAA! you have a rotten relationship soon to end in tragedy and at least one broken heart, but irreprable damage to both involved.
And they say better to have loved and lost then to not have loved at all. Only partially true. How we define "love" today differs considerably from the love referred to in the saying. So often today exploitation replaces love, thats when its better to not have"loved" at all.
Everyone is out there looking for their answer. The ultimate example is Christ and the church. Love, Sacrifice, Faithfullness. He gave His one and only son, who loved us soo much He died on the cross for us. Ultimate, unending love. If more people modeled their relationships after that. If more people were willing to sacrifice. If more people were selfless. If more people began their relationships in His solid foundation, then more people would be faithful.
If.
But unfortunately we all play the fool sometimes and we learn things the hard way.
Its good to be back on here writing...ill get some poetry in soon...
d weazy. GBTG!
