Hoe gaan jullie om met de onomkoombare onzekerheid of je relatie standhoudt? Ik bedoel, je weet nooit zeker of en hoelang dat is, of dat je partner ervandoor gaat, enzovoorts. Gezien de scheidingscijfers (en dan gaat het alleen nog maar over getrouwde mensen) kun je wel stellen dat de kans dat het fout loopt groot is. Je hebt nooit de garantie dat het blijft, of dat je relatie altijd van je blijft houden.

Waarom dan zoveel investeren in zoiets onzekers, iets dat zoveel ellende en verdriet kan brengen, iets dat in de meeste gevallen gewoon kapotgaat?

Dus...hoe ga je daar mee om?

Als je even lekker sentimenteel in je zelfmedelijden wilt rondwentelen moet je dit vooral lezen:

The Moment Before
I want to touch
the sharp taste
of the moment in between
the second just before
the place where
the breath catches
in anticipation.
It's the scent of heat held in the air
between two mouths
reaching for each other, hungry.
The shine of moisture on slightly parted lips
just before
it melts into
the wetness of the other.
It is the skin that tingles
waiting
fine hairs at attention
reaching
aching.
It is the places that have not yet been touched
but know they will be.

What is the opposite of two? A lonely me, a lonely you.
~Richard Wilbur

Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again.
~Rosa Parks

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall. Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll.

Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you.
