Learning curve!

Being hardpressed for time yesterday, I had to stop with just one part of the intended entire post.
in continuation with yesterday's discourse ;)!

#2 Think twice, thrice, actually a dozen times before thou speakest:

Sensitive Issues?! Beware. You might be wanting to clarify something. Anything. Give it time. I have seen myself turn from a 'gotta clear this RIGHT NOW' to someone who thinks about it, prays about it. It takes a second to say something and a lifetime to face and bear the consequences. The unwritten message here is that if there is something that rewuires clarification, it better be done. We dont want a repeat of the Panchathanthra tale, where the tiny vine grew into humongous creeper around the tree and all the birds living in the tree (and didnt pay enough attention to the vine) are taken prey by the hunter.
Its best to talk things out. Voice your fears and your opinions. But use your discretion. Its important to say 'the right thing' at 'the right time'. A relationship formed out love and trust and reinforced by transperancy will go a long way. But hey! Even glass doors have locks.

Give extra thought.

#3 Err..mm...cough cough..ahem..I love you:

There would be a million things that might be on your mind regarding the relationship, but I believe that what makes a man and woman come together, stick together and emerge victorious from those battles is love. Love.

What were you before you met? Strangers, most likely. Then how now, it seems like you could have all the joys in the world, yet it would fall short of the happiness that just being there and holding his hands brings?
Remember Toni Morrison's "Love is or it aint. Thin love is no love at all." I so believe in that. This is because, when we love, completely, we give the other person power. Power to make us or destroy us. Putting the right foot over the barbed wire limit, taking a deep breath and crossing territory over requires faith and trust that can move mountains. When you have taken so much pain, its only fair that the purpose be served.

"I love you"
These words could (and do) mean the world to that special person. Anything can happen, nothing needs to happen for you to say these words. Ok, now if you aren't the 'very' verbal time, I understand. I really do. That hug, that kiss, that caress could make all the difference. Love surpasses expensive gifts and things-you-got-to-do-to-score-points. This is Love, remember?! Simply express it.

Three roses. Beautiful.


Am working on some more insights offline, hope to get them up online soon!

So long!
