Dandelions Over Diamonds

 

Have we already met people who are meant to be in our lives forever? Do we realize this when we see them? There are two things that need to work in tandem here- right person and right time. More often than not, neither of us are in the right frame of mind for the relationship. But something keeps bringing you back in touch.

The familiarity, the comfort, the safety we feel does not change over a decade. That is a long time to be comfortable with someone. But what a peace of mind! To be home in someone's thoughts. To be old and to be young simultaneously. This reminds you, how truly little you need to be happy. You cannot be wary of disagreements but at no point do you start disrespecting the other.

The value the other person brings to your life is greater than the dope ass sarcastic comment you got under your sleeve. When in a fight, always take a step back to analyze the situation. Are you ready to lose this person over it? Is your anger more justified than this person's love for you?

Sometimes, you should go to bed angry. Feel the loneliness and discomfort of his/ her absence. And in the vast emptiness of your nightmares, you would feel the insignificance of your issues.

The world isn't perfect. Neither is this relationship going to be. You need to hold on to the good and glide over the bad. What fun is there in flying if there is no nest to come back to?

Be kind, be good, be respectful. Expect nothing less. Do small things. Sometimes dandelions are better than diamonds. If you had the knowledge and wisdom of old age in your youth, life would be much less miserable. But we are bound to make mistakes. The goal is to learn from them and be better.

Live here, now!
