One step into the Otherside

I'll give it some time.

It's funny how sometimes you crave to be on the "otherside" and once you set foot there or even get a glimpse of it, you realize that it wasn't exactly what you were looking for or where you needed to be. In this case, I was given a tiny flash and got scared. It isn't for me, not just now.

Relationships are hard. When one isn't in one, one perceives relationships to be about companionship and utter happiness, loving and being loved in return. You forget or fail to realize that it is a lot like working. You have compromises to make, promises to keep, expectations to maintain. If there are feelings involved, you have a responsability, you can't quit, you can't leave.

And then, of course, comes the conflict between what you want and what you have and, hopefully, the bridge covering the gap between the two is very small. If it isn't... well... at the end of the day, the only real commitment we have is to ourselves and we can only do (and should only do) so much to accomodate others.

I'll give it some time.
