Sometimes things change. Not always the way you expect them to. It is surprising but its good to be surprised once in a while. It keeps you on your toes and tips you off often. Eventually you learn to balance.
Loving without communicating (read: one sided love in no commitment act, friends with benefits) is not as simple as it seems.
When you see falling relationships all around, it may come as a relief and feel like a cake walk. Don’t get delusional about this because you possibly can’y go on forever with this little set up. Love is such a strong emotion that the heat radiates in the air in the near proximity. Sooner or later your little secret does start becoming a little obvious. And believe it or not, you are then, just left with a puddle of imaginary, messed up world which exists only in the realms of your minds.
So let go of these illusions. They come with their own complications, which can be worse than just “Relationships are Complicated” crap. You have to work to make it work. I quote
‘Communication in measurable amount’ is the key for a successful journey in wonderland.
Its not always rainbows and butterflies, but compromise that gets you along… Have a safe trip! 🙂
