Relationships are hard.  Nothing about then is easy.  They are complicated, full of hardships and work, hurtful at times, and most of all, not worth the pain at times…and yet we endure them for the sheer reason that we have a need to be loved and cared for.  And we endure much to achieve that love as well as to keep it.  But do we really need it?  Or is it a way to make up for our lack of affection for or inability to love ourselves?  Perhaps…none can be sure of the truth.  All that we know is that the feeling of being loved is quite possibly the most amazing feeling in the world.  No wonder we go to great lengths to get that feeling.  But it is with great responsibility and consequence.

Relationships require a lot of work and compromise.  Sometimes each individual involved aren’t willing to do so and so they are forced to end the relationship.  And with others the relationship couldn’t seem any better.  But who really knows if they’re really happy?  There is much that we don’t see because we are left on the outside of the situation.  There could be much conflict between the two and they could be trying their hardest to hide that fact.

And then there are the emotions involved.  Its hard to tell what emotions you are feeling because they aren’t always clear.  It’s hard to know if you are in love if you’ve never experienced it before.  How can we be sure that it is love?  There is nothing we have to compare with.  The only love that we have known up until that point is the love of your family and that is a completely different kind of love.  Its also difficult to know if you are making the right choice in loving this particular person.

There are many factors that can attract you to one person or another.  But how do you stay with them?  It could just be a physical attraction which happens a lot because we see nothing but their appearance at first glance.  But when you start seeing the person you find out more bout them…and that is where the problems begin.  Things change when you get to know a person better.  You find out their flaws.  Most of the time you can deal with their flaws but sometimes they annoy the hell out of you that you have little choice but to end it.  It is when you truly love that person that you would look past their flaws and love them regardless.

Then there are the times when you simply lose interest or you find that they weren’t the person you thought them to be.  They constantly say they’ll change for you but they don’t.  you tell them to be better, to try harder and they say they will.  At first they do but eventually they go back to there old ways.  You tolerate it to the point where you break down and cry.  And then you know what you MUST do…hard though it may be.
Personal Project number two, this one was directed towards something I didn't know much of. I find that I still don't know much about relationships. But despite that, I still have an opinion and this is it.
