Relationships, friendships, partnerships, all kind of 'ships' are so hard. They need constant attention and constant care. Sometimes, a lot of the time, that's the problem, life gets in the way, no ones direct fault. Just the way it is sometimes. I think the reason we fight, fall out, argue, complain, about and to each other, is the passion behind a relationship. We love the other person so much, we miss them, we want to see them, and when we feel like they aren't reciprocating those feelings or making an effort, we explode.
Not in a nasty way, we probably don't mean to offend, hurt, guilt trip or upset the other person. But there is so much love, passion and attachment to that person that we feel put out or jealous. No one ever said relationships were going to be easy, and they're the furthest thing from easy. But I think sometimes we all need to sit back and take a look at our relationship, see how lucky we are to have one another. I think the insecurities stem from previous happenings in relationships, being ditched by other friends, not having attention from previous boyfriends, other partners not making an effort etc. You immediately assume that's where your relationship is going to end up, and yes sometimes it might, and yes other times it won't. You just have to choose which relationships are worth it?!
Life's hard at the best of times, but as long as you make an effort, try and appreciate others, then that's half the battle, right? I think we forget how much we need each other, without friends and lovers your life isn't fulfilled or happy. I know you can be happy within yourself, on your own, but friendships and relationship bring a certain type of happiness, one nothing else can. It's really the simple things.
Sometimes I know it can feel like the world is against you, but see it as a positive, it'll make you closer and stronger. It'll be worth it in the end. And if it wasn't then they clearly weren't worthy of your time or energy. Pick and choose who are the ones worth fighting for and putting up with!
Thank God this week is over, and this weekend is over. Going to Venice in 11days, can't wait. I have a long to-do-list for the next month, my best friendship being at the top! Bad situations make you realise how lucky you are. Can't wait for January to be over, it definitely lived up to it's "blue month" status, I swear it seems to get worse every year.
Re-found my love for Usher's - Confessions Part II album. Such a good album.
Have a good one.

I really wish she had a different way of viewing things, I think the city that we're from kinda ruined things. It's such a small place- not much to do just talk and listen, the men are jealous and the women all in competition.
