True Life: The Fragility of Relationships

Love and relationships are fragile things. One false move or unkind word could change everything and often does. Even if the person forgives you, they may still remember it and bring it up (often) even 10 years later.

I found someone amazing, someone I really liked. But now it looks like things are already over, back to square one. Just when it had barely begun--and was looking very promising, I might add.

Life is so fragile, and so are people's feelings. I am learning more and more how fragile and delicate relationships are. People need to be encouraged and built up, and relationships need to be strengthened if they're going to last. They really are a lot of work, and will die if you don't take care of and nurture them.

And time does not go backward, only forward. The world does not stop turning just because you have a broken heart. You can't go back to something you said or they said and just erase it. But wouldn't it be nice if you could? If only. All we can do is learn from our mistakes and try to do better, and pray that God gives us the wisdom we need to make the right decisions.

Once again, I am waiting for God to make things clear to me, and I wish that just once I could find something stable, something I could count on that won't let me down... but then I remember...I do have that...

It's Him.
