-Realizations and facial slaps from reality, but actually this time from, quotes-

Writing about relationship dynamics and completely ignoring the "sexy singles" ads that occasionally raise their head to the top right of your eye-sight as we speak, I have realized that one doesn't really need to write so much about something obviously impossible to put in words. Relationships, more so, aspects of relationships can be described using only short quotes and small poems or limericks. I know....why the fuck would you want to read some ragingly homosexual scripture? Get over it, because no matter who you are, if you have been in a relationship or you are currently in one, shit like this will get you thinking and possibly connecting action to those thoughts, thereby, probably improving your relationship because you either realize what you are missing, or, you realize what you could possibly have and appreciate. Below, there is a collection of relationship quotes I have personally chosen and found most true. And if you didn't notice above on "-Quote of the day-" , I have inserted one I perceive to be most true. So, dim the lights, light some candles, put on dark clothing and get rid of any friends who could make fun of you for taking this seriously, because you are about to start on something I like to call; 'Realizations and facial slaps from reality, but actually this time from, quotes.'

• Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

• Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade. ~Leo Buscaglia

• Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough. ~Dinah Shore

• Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for you. ~Author Unknown

• How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. ~From the movie Annie

Switch on the lights, blow out the candles, invite your obnoxious friend back and close the internet tab to the lonely singles mentioned on the top right. Hopefully you thought for just one second because I can personally tell you that ALL of those quotes make me think and that in someway I can relate to them. They teach me lessons about what to do and what not to do. The only advise that could possibly top the above, is no matter how many times you get told to do something or if you hear something that makes you think, especially in a relationship, the final result is one that YOU create. Your decisions. Your personality. Your actions will determine if you genuinely feel happy in your life; whether its alone or together...with someone you love.

Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand. ~Emily Kimbrough
