Relationships - Commitment, or just plain fun?
Relationships. What are they? A mutual understanding, a special bond created between two indivduals, usually. The first misconception that people have is, relationships = boyfriend/girlfriend. In this society, many are narrow minded. Hardly people accept something new, and they'd have to grumble and complain, all day long. Our typical friends out there.
I have a few good friends, from both the same sex and the fairer sex. Since theres not much argument about friends of the same gender, I shall speak about my relationships with my female buddies. Often when others see a guy, and a girl, on close terms, they'll think, 'Oh this guy and girl arh, confirm like each other one.' Screw them and their assumptions. As quoted. Dont assume, it makes an ASS out of U and ME. Spell the capital letters. ASSUME. Okay I'm digressing.
Many view relationships as just another entertainment activity. When they get sick of it, they quit. Irresponsible beings. But when they see what they let go, is with something else, they want to regain their possession. Ignorant fools. Only when they lose, then they cherish. Why not do it the other way round, cherish, and not lose. I assure each and every one out there, if you really cherish every relationship out there, you will never lose them. When you cherish, you commit.
Commiting; rooting down the relationship. It makes the relationship stronger, never bound to break free from any weather, or anything else. True relationships stand strong in adversity, the false ones are gone with the wind. I make sure that I can commit myself always, so as to avoid major disappointments. I learnt many lessons along the way. Not just engaging in a relationship due to peer pressure, for the exposure and the attention you've always wanted. It's really foolish to do something like that.
In this age of technology. The mass media is advocating a false image of how relationships should be like to teenagers. I'm not blaming the mass media for doing all these, its their job, its just that teenagers are too easily influenced. Like lallang seeds, they sway with the wind and follow wherever it brings them.
With whatever external influence threatening our relationships, we should always stand strong and still, to our commitment and values. Any relationship is not by chance, it doesnt come by as and when it likes, its not like sushi on the conveyor belt. Once gone, it'll hardly turn around.
One thing, I thought people who bragged about relationships and other gossips were cool, but now they're rather passe,
Thats about all I wanted to speak about, I'll be back soon.
