I am learning a most important lesson in life but in a hard way. Every relationship does not depend on love, even with your partner, best friend, mother, or so on. Two more aspects play a vital role: understanding and respect. Where I make a mistake is I try to solve an issue at the same time. I want things to be normal as soon as possible, and I forget our crazy emotional system. Things take time. People have their own life to deal with. They need space and time. It’s not always about you. It can be about someone else. People can be upset because of someone else as well. They have more people in their life. We make mistakes when we create the world around them and want them to do the same. Everybody needs freedom. We go wrong here. So i don’t want you to make mistakes which I always made. Remember these things if you want a lifelong relationship with your loved ones.

·         Give space to each other.

·         If you fought, don’t try to make things normal simultaneously. Give time to each other.

·         Give each other freedom. Freedom of being with anyone, even if you are getting jealous. Jealousy is nothing, just insecurity or fear of losing that person.

·         Show respect and care but in a way they want. The definition of respect is when you give respect to their preferences. For example, if they don’t want to talk now, then don’t.

Try not to let that person go away who loves you a lot but always remember when that person is meant to go, that person will go no matter how hard you try. As I always say, everybody is just playing a role in a play of life. 

Don’t be so hard on yourself. Try to enjoy your own company. Don’t be a depedent on anyone. People change even we change. Emotions do change also so take it easy. Work on yourself. Build a good relationship with yourself and your almighty. I know this isn’t easy, but we have to deal with this. We have to evolve that pain and become a better version of ourselves. 

Keep smiling,

Thank you,
