I am Sorry!


Hi Friends,

How are things going on?

I just don’t take relationships easily (poor me L).

Not only my relationship with others. I love watching people around me and their relationship with their loved ones as well J .

A relationship can never go long without words of love, actions which shows love,  few fights, many sorry , miss u and even  hate you :-P . These are part and parcel of love. Saying sorry doesn't always mean you are wrong.

There may be few instances where your words/actions would have hurt your loved ones. You would be totally unaware about that just because you did not do /say them with any intention of hurting them. But when you discover that you have hurt them, there is nothing wrong in asking for an apology though you did not mean to hurt. A simple and sincere apology does not harm you in anyway. In fact, it helps in keeping the relationship intact.

Having said this, Do you feel you are apologising for everything you say/ do unintentionally?

Say, Whatever you speak /do is ending up in hurting the other? Though you did not mean to hurt them in anyway? This may turn out like, you end up asking so many sorry for the mistake of saying /doing something. Too many sorry is not good for a relationship. Yes!! We end up asking sorry for everything we did unintentionally where even the word Sorry becomes so irritating to our loved ones.

Do take a break. Sit and think. Speak to each others. Resolve the differences from the root. Ask them how they have felt. Confess for your mistakes without ego. After this, tell them how you did or how unintentionally this was done where you did not even dream of hurting your loved ones. Make them understand that you feel sorry and if you are ready to change them for your loved ones, tell them that you would change. If that is something which you cannot change, ask them to bear that alone with you. Everyone has flaws. Agree that this may be your flaw, but still it is something which you cannot change. Mutually agree on few things and let the relationship live.

Answer me, Do u ask sorry simply for being you?  
The things you do in your own way and the words you speak just like that is making you to say a “Sorry”? Not just in one or two instances. In most of the cases, do you end up asking a sorry for being you? Then, you are in a risky relationship. There is something(let me term as “magic element”) with your loved ones, which is making you to ask so many sorry and that is making you to keep the relationship intact. That magic element, in other words is making you feel guilt of being yourself and trying to change your originality.

I am not against changing /adjusting for your loved ones. Changes can be for behaviour of yours, not on your character at all. You are what your Character is!! When you are changing your character, it is nothing but changing yourself completely. You cannot do this to you. “Your change” and the “magic element” which has made you to change are not permanent either. Understand this.

Ask Sorry. Mean it when you say that. A relationship needs it.
But if apologising has become your way of life, and if you are apologising for the very way you are!!It is high time to think whether the relationship is worth all these.

Because,
“You don’t need someone to complete you.
 You just need someone to accept you completely”

I AM in a Relationship !!

When my relatives ask me aren't you still married? I want to say that No! I am in relationship with myself;-P....I am weird like that ;-)
When I say I am in relationship with me, please don’t imagine wrongly okay!! I love myself and I feel complete by myself. I don’t need someone to fill my life. I am happy with ME , ME and ME again. I am with my friends, happy with my family and happy with my office. Everything around me is pleasant. Everyone around me is good.

I am a good person until you expect something from me:-P
Yes. The above line suits everyone. If you don’t expect anything from people around you then be sure you are going to be happy always. When expectation crops up, that is when the real problem starts.

Marriage life is full of vows. You cannot blame your spouse for expecting from you. He/she would have his/her own imagination about married life. Who knows in their wild imagination it can be like “the prince and the princess got married –and they lived happily ever after “tale. Everyone knows happily ever after marriages are only in fairy tales and movies.(These days real life stories are made as movies and hence chances of watching –Happy ever after marriage- movies also has come down !!)

Frankly speaking, this society and tradition has made the institution of marriage as a Mandatory one. There is no such thing like one cannot live without the other. Opinions vary. A person may not feel complete without other. When you are married you won’t feel complete without having a kid. We tend to add relationships to our circle and we feel we are not complete without our closed ones.

I am not against marriage. I am okay with the idea that you will always have a companion in that regard. But, is that sure that you will have your spouse as your companion? .Divorces would not have increased if that is the case. Fine! Are you sure enough that your spouse will live till you live in this world? Human life is uncertain. Who can guarantee you the life of others? Or even yours for this matter?

If you Love yourself. And if you are in relationship with yourself. If you feel you are complete by yourself then, you can love everyone and you would not expect anyone to complete your life and happiness. If marriage / relationships are your sole idea of complete happiness- then please go ahead J.Do what your heart says J . After all, that is the institution which has brought you and me into this world.

But always it is good to know that:
Being Single doesn't mean you are lonely
Being “together” doesn't mean you are happy.

(I read this somewhere and these lines.... still lingers in my mind)
