What Did You Find?

Relationships are hard, that's no secret. People say that they are 50% from each person, but I think it's more than that. I think it's 100% from both. If you aren't giving your relationships all of yourself than how can you expect someone else to give you anything. That goes for all relationships, not just the romantic ones. Whether it's your best friend, family, or significant other, it doesn't matter; they all deserve all of your love and support. But that's hard. I've found it is both one of the hardest things to do and one of the most rewarding. When the other person is reciprocating that respect, love, and effort your relationship thrives. It's when you are giving this person all of yourself and they aren't giving you all of themselves when things get prickly. It hurts to feel like someone doesn't even care about the time and thought you put into your relationship. It makes you feel like they don't care about you. I know that feeling all to well. So, how are you supposed to react? What are you supposed to do? What is the right thing to do? There is no manual or instruction book on relationships, not really. There is no right and wrong way to do something. You have to find what works for you and that other person, but that is a hard and long process. That's ok. This blog will hopefully help. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, and that's ok. I think that people learn from other people's experiences and stories. That's what this is. It is my experiences, my stories, my outlooks on life, and my advice on situations. Take it or leave it; that choice is up to you. Ask questions or don't. Read once and never come back, ok. If there is one thing you take away from my rambling nonsense it should be this - as cheesy as it sounds - you're not alone. I know how much it all can hurt. I know how alone and lost and isolated these situations can make you feel. If you feel that way I promise I've felt that way too, I get it.
