Approximate 5 months ago, one of my bestie fell in love and built up a relationship with an ordinary guy ... She used to have a list of requirement of potential boyfriend but you know what feeling win over a set of requirement ... She choose feeling over potential requirements ... Honestly I thought she made the right choice ... Because what's the point of being in a relationship without any real feeling ...
Today it's 3 days before their 5th month anniversary and they broke up ... It's a waste because relationship requires a long time and trust to be built ... And what hurts the most is to see both of them not appreciating the love they have in each other ... Because of ego they both choose to let go of love ... Compromisation is what they lacked of ...
As her bestie, I don't think I should side any of them ... Anyhow is their relationship and there is no right for me to say anything ... That's why I'm here to write on how I feel ...
Within this 5 months , I'm always, not all the time but most of the time being with them ... I see how my bestie fall in love deeply everyday ... I can see she smile wider each day ... But at the same time I see how her smiles turn into frown as days pass by ...
The first three months ... Or the first 100 days known as the lovey dovey period (crazily in love days) things were fine between them ... They fall in love as fast as lightning ... Be with together just few days after knowing each other ... Life together for the first few weeks is going to be interesting because there are too many things to share with each other ... Things tend to be less flavourable when you get to know each other ... And things become tasteless when your are used to be each other ... This is when Compromisation take place ... And to make an effort to fall in love again ... Relationship is about falling in love with the same person all over again and again and again ... This is how it works ... If you don't then this relationship won't bring you anywhere ...
Love is not about forgetting or ignoring the other half's weakenesses but also to accept and compromise with it ... Love is not fairy tale as happily ever after don't exist in a blink of eyes ... They come with the willingness of two person in building and accepting flaws in their relationship ... Nothing is flawless ... Nothing is perfect ...
Relationship ain't Lego bricks where they can be built and stacked easily and when you don't like it you can remove any part that is not in you favour or push and break it and be rebuild ... relationships without good foundation can break with a slight push and it's not easy to rebuild it and you can't choose only the things that you like and to remove what is not ... once it's gone, it's gone forever ... It's gonna be such a waste as some people don't even have the chance to love but if you do then appreciate every bit of it ...
Some people are blind in finding a better one ... Some think if this didn't work , I can always find a better one but how sure are you the next one will be the better one ? How do we know whether he is a better one ? So why not appreciate the existing one, compromise, love more and expect less ??
During all this while, I see how they love each other, how they tease each other, how they talk, how their little body language communicate with each other, how they look at each other, how they uses vulgar language to call each other, how they always argue over a certain statement, the sweetness in them ... All this little thing that they might not notice as the reason why they love each other ... Because of ego they had forgotten why they were together in the first place , because of own pride they had forgotten how to love ... Why choose pride over love ??
Love isn't about relying on the other half on everything ... Love is about improving with each other but if ones is not willing then no point holding on the relationship as it will ever grow and this relationship will be stangnent ... I see my bestie grow and improve, she became more independent ... Her first time of taking the plane alone just to visit him in jb ... I'm proud of her braveness because I won't take plane alone ...
One reason for the failure in their relationship is also because of the scarification that they both made and being compared on who did more ... There shouldn't be any comparison ... Because love is not a set of calculation ... Love cannot be expressed in numerical neither has a value ... There isn't a number to compare what you did for each other ... If it does have a value then it's not love it's an exchange of needs or system barter ...
Both have faults ... To continue with this relationship or to let go depends on whether you both willing to work it out ? To compromise ? To love unconditionally ? To forgive ? To go through shits together ...
Dear bestie, if you happen to read this ... Remind yourself of the love you first have with him and if it still doesn't convince you and there isn't anything that worth for you to give him another chance then I'll respect you decision ... I'll always be by your side and love ya ...
