People = Confusion?

Relationships, these are universal, omnipresent, inevitable.

When you’re born, you’re in a relationship with your mother, father and other siblings, if any. Then you grow older, go to school, you have relationships with your teachers, class mates, make friends, then you progress on to get your on life partner, and there still more relationships to be made.

Now, what if a relationship (romantic and non) goes sour? How do you deal with it?

Do you talk it out? Or should you just cut it off completely?

This is pretty confusing to me.

I see two scenarios.

Scenario 1

A relationship goes bad, you may never want to see the person ever again, and you decide to cut that person out of your life completely.
To me, what I think is that you can do so, leave that other person completely miserable, and move on with life. This would be a healthy option if you are really persistent with moving on with life.
It would be basically like starting fresh all over again.

Scenario 2

In a sour relationship, the other thing you can do, is to talk things out, sort it out, face to face.
Yes, some things are easier to be communicated via other means (texting/email/words) but I strongly feel it’s better said then left unsaid. At least by clearly expressing your feelings to each other, there is no room for ambiguity or doubt.
And if you hate each other, you can still clearly explain to each other that you hate each other, and still end the relationship on good clearly communicated hateful terms. As paradoxical as it seems. Hahaha

But this also got me wondering, what’s the purpose of relationships? Is that a bad question?
I mean, at home, you’re born in to the relationship. At school, you make those relationships, at work, you make relationships as well. Actually it could be forced also heheh. =P I mean you need a job, hence you go to work. Your boss could be a monster, but you have no choice but to put up with his antics.
Then you may find a special someone, and you get into a relationship with him/her.
I guess, it’s so that we have people to share our lives with.

Wow, life is seriously complicated eh. Anyways, me, I like having relationships. But I hate superficial relationships. Where you meet somewhere, go all crazy over each other with air kisses and hugs, and probably never see each other again, till chance plays it role.

I believe in people, the importance of getting to know them, understanding them, loving them. And perhaps if things go wrong somewhere along the way, perhaps a little time apart would help in the healing process.
Because there’s no point hating, it will not get you further in life, it will pull you back.

And if you’re the type of person who doesn’t see the need for relationships with people or animals too (heyyy! I love my dog okay!) then I think change would be nice. Try having a friend.
Friends (this can even be a family member) can pull you up further in life, but they can also bring you down.
So as important as friends are, it is also important that you chose wisely.

My life, hmm, I have soo many family, friends, colleagues and bfm of course. I can say that they have all played role in my life.
Given me information in one way or the other, made me understand life better. Learn new things, etc.
So to any of my family/friends/colleagues/acquaintances, thank YOU! Hope you take time to spend with your loved ones too.
Do it now, then later. Live in the present!

Ps: spend time with your self too… your body’s a temple.
