Relationship, it’s bilateral.
Relationship:
noun
the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.
the way in which two or more people or groups regard and behave toward each other.
Relationship, no matter how we look at it… it can never be unilateral because it is an interaction between things or people. Its inspiring to hear stories people tell about how they find each other in this vast world. How their worlds collided in the midst of trouble! Finding out the story behind the fairy tale and that how it started. Its like, knowing the untold story of that “old house” down the corner we pass by everyday going to work or school.
It fascinates me to know the details of the story, whether it be old or new. As fascinating as it is already, it gives the mind the wander of how their world begun and can’t wait to tell the world their story. Not as fascinating as how I saw it, but wanderfully written in a language we all can understand.
Ohhhhh! Love! Truly magnificent it is. The undying love stories of all time, written by Shakespeare in his sonnets, short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, on the painting of Michaelangelo, or poems by John Smith. Stories immortalized by these men through their works, each craft unique to one another but the impact and the stories it tells still holds true to this very generations. Although, one’s inclination may differ but, those are stories they were telling.
At home, we have a very simplified relationship. My sons and I, simplified it because I am a single mom and rearing both children… simplified in the sense where they are build up in a way I am, following genetic make-up and as they grow, train them. Build them up in a way acceptable to us.. where they bring our culture out there, where our story is made known. Known to that heart that most care though only to a few. Share the moments together, trying to appreciate every minute that counts. As time goes on and passes by, I can only imagine so much and work on all of it, little by little. Strengthening the bond that only family can succumb to its profoundness. Oh! That would be lovely!
Giving my all, without hesitation will be the greatest gift that I can offer to my boys for I know I will fade… as I really have nothing else to lose or gain… the only true gain I get out of this is fulfillment and out of it comes the bitter-sweet taste of happiness. The fun, joy and sorrow shared all throughout the journey is just so much to bear alone, so sharing it with them makes it all worthwhile. Not a perfectly made home but is something they can be proud of and not be ashamed. Simplicity is all I can offer them because it’s the only thing I can afford provided that im the only one supporting them. I want my relationship with my boys be simple as possible but something they’d be doing with their own family soon, as they will have one. Or I’d like them to be able to have the same with their friends, something they can treasure for a lifetime. And of course, mix it with trust that they will be trustworthy to the people that surrounds them. After all, trust and respect are some of the keys for a successful relationship. Communication too, shouldn’t be disregarded for it plays a vital role in bridging the gap between two people. In its essence, brings forth clarity and truth to many shadows we all are subjected to, every day. Addresses concerns and issues, helps in rearing understanding and finding solutions to any anxiety that threatens the relationship.
All in all, holding a relationship is tough. Whether it be just family or friends or loved ones. It has key ingredients to make it work and somehow it should be nourished and culture, for getting it together is something while success is another thing. Surviving it, is extraordinary.

We do not have to set high goals expecting that other person could meet all our requirements and expectations.
