Yep. I've done it again. Never wrote in this thing for like forever. :D

Sigh. We've been facing rough times in our young relationship these past few days. But we'll make it. I believe in us. I believe and see that we both love each other so much, and that nothing and no one could ever get in our way because we fight for the same cause. We fight for our love. We are born for each other and we are meant to be with each other until-- and even after the day we die. I believe in us.

Acceptance. That's why most relationships fail. People can't accept each other for who they are. They couldn't accept the fact that everybody, including their partners, view and live their lives differently. They couldn't face the fact that people are just different. Different likes, interests, perspectives, priorities, beliefs, policies and ways of coping up when in a crisis. Mostly-- if not, all the time, people are turning a blind eye on that. And that's why relationships fail. Sad, but true.

Yardsticks. Like it or not, people measure their lives by yardsticks. Their accomplishments, achievements and even their failures. All of it. People do that for many reasons: to please, to gratify themselves and to prove themselves. Most people I know borrow yardsticks. Yardsticks from their mentors, idols, family and friends. They measure their lives according to what other people had set for them. The sad part is only a handful of people measure their lives by the yardstick they set themselves. Very few people live their lives according to the way they set themselves. I have seen a lot of people spending their lives with a borrowed yardstick. It's like spending your whole life with a pair of shoes that isn't yours-- barely fits and uncomfortable. Again, sad but true.
