Why do people engage in relationships? Why do some relationships don't last? Most importantly, and a harder question to answer, why do other relationships last?
I still remember how delightful I was when I received my first brand new cellphone way back in high school; back then when texting was very popular among kids my age. I was very happy because finally, I had a phone I was able to call my own which I used to communicate with my friends and family. Oh, you must know that borrowing your friends' phones just isn't convenient.
People engage in relationships to find the 'fit'; to find the 'one'; or simply to find a life partner. (I am talking of serious relationships here, okay?) Because after all, someone has rightly quoted 'no man is an island'. I tell you, no matter how many real friends and family you have, they won't be in your life 24/7 because eventually they will have their own families. So, you yourself should have your own life partner, own family.
Then the advent of technology came unexpectedly at a very fast pace. The next year I had a new phone. I had a smartphone more advanced than the basic phone I first had. I had to dispose my dear old phone and engage in using the new one simply because it no longer cope up with my demands.
The same goes with relationships. It won't last if it doesn't match. If a relationship no longer makes you happy, leave it at the earliest chance. The same actually goes to everything. It is human nature to feel unsatisfied, so many relationships break apart and many hearts shatter.
As time goes by, I changed phones for a lot of times because the older just couldn't keep up with my needs or just not fit for me anymore. There were phones that lasted long, others didn't. At my age, I know my demands would be changing from time to time. However, I know that I'll find that perfect phone that will serve me comfort, convenience and more benefits. When I find that phone, would I change it?
People would come and go in your life. And in relationships, some people are just not meant to stay for a life time. Others would stay only to break your heart and teach you lessons. They don't stay long for a reason.
The past relationships that failed, along the way makes you know yourself better and gives you the idea on what kind of person you want to be with in the future. You are lucky if it didn't take you a lot of trials and errors before you find the 'fit'. The 'one'.
So if I find that perfect phone, would I change it? No. Such phone may be perfect for me, but better units would come along the way. Still, I won't change it.
When you find the 'one', don't let go of 'em. You call them the 'one' for a reason. You call it 'fit' because it matches. Someone would come into your life and challenge your choices, but always remember that above all, contentment is very essential for a healthy relationship.
Love and be contented with what you have for it is in contentment that you find happiness. Also, the perfect phone won't last as it is when bought. We all know that most things are just good when new. Same as your relationships, always make it a habit to diagnose and fix problems as early as possible.
Finally, everything including your cellphone and your loved one won't last forever. Take care of your loved one, so you would be able to enjoy your life longer together.
