Five Things

If there are five things I want you to learn from the relationship, I have compiled them in a short list below. I hope you remember them and take it to heart.

1. Love the person the way you want to be loved - If you want people to respect you, then it goes that you have to show respect too. The same goes with love. If you want to feel loved and be loved, then show the person that you love them. Love that person the way you want them to love you.

2. Trust and believe in the person you're with - They say to be trusted is better than to be loved. Trust is in another concept that is related to love but it stands on its own. No matter how many times you get hurt or disappointed, believe that there is always something good that happens and there is still something to be trusted in a person.

3. Not everyone you meet is here to hurt you. - Yes the past hurts so much. But always remember that it is the PAST. You're proud that you've gone through the worst heartaches and still stand up and show the world your battle scars. But what's the point of showing off if you haven't learned from them? You can only close yourself and act so cold for just a short time, never forever. Not everyone is here to hurt you. You're just hurting yourself, and the people around you, in the process.

4. Don't take it personally - If you hear your friends comment on the things you do, or things didn't work out the way you planned it because of them, stop yourself when you think you're going to get hurt. Your friends are here to support you and trust me, they're the real friends you've got. Never overlook what they tell you because they mean no harm. Instead, take it smoothly and work on your attitude. You can show them how good you can be.

5. Make time - The "I'm really busy" excuse has been used over and over and it's getting tiring to hear the same thing. You can be busy and make time for the person. Yes you have a career and that's a good thing. But to lose the one you want to share your success with in return for success is never a good idea. You may not be the most organized person but you can slip an hour or two to see someone you love. You don't know how you can make time? Just look at what I do and understand how.

I hope these things are clear. I don't want the next person worrying about the same thing I did. All I ever want is you, is that too much to ask?
