When we hear the word relationship and think of one of two things. That best friend we had since elementary school or the latter about a current or past relationship with a significant other. I learned something yesterday. It was from a huge fight with a friend. It is going to make me restructure my blog. I learned that we hurt the ones we love the most. I know cliche. But it is true. Here is my spin on the cliche quote we hurt the ones we love and the ones we love hurt us. Its a two way street. Both parties are responsible for the pain we cause each other. So why do we cause each other pain if we know that emotional turmoil is horrible. Thats what I searching for right now. The reason wny. The reason why in relationships we hurt each other emotionally. And how I can grow as person and create less pain and suffering. I learned the answer from my mom. We cant have expectations on friends to act or think a certain way. The same way they cant expect us to respond in a certain way. So this pain comes from unfulfilled expectations of each other and our anger and resentment from that. So my point is from this day forward I will not put expectations on friendships and try to understand that people act in different ways to different situations.
On my daily walk I had an epiphany about you. I really miss you. I know it was in high school but I did really care about you. I have learned so many lessons from you that I wish I knew before I dumped you. You taught me that i deserve to be treated like a princess.That I am loved and that I am important. You taught me its okay to sing off tune, to scream on top of your lungs, and to let go and live life. You taught me how I should be treated by boyfriends. You taught me that they should call me beautiful and force me off the phone so i can go to sleep. You taught me how to be me and thats it okay to be me. I can never thank you enough. I wish i knew this a year ago…..
