the beginning of a relationship is most magical that we'll always fondly look back to. nobody seems to do any wrong, the smiles never end, the lack of table manners is cute and even the arguing of who hungs up first is standard operating procedure for the first few months.
couples try to know each other's likes and dislikes. when they're apart, they feel pure torture. they all make all excuses just to have a reason to be together. there is no "too tired", "too late" or too many kisses". couples exchange text messages- "good morning," "have you eaten?", 'what did you have for lunch/dinner/merienda?", "i miss you," "are you thinking of me?"
then the princess kisses the prince and suddenly he's a frog, or he kisses her and she becomes the witch....
these are the things that i should have banged my head for. i can't count the number of times i felt like reaching inside myself, taking out my heart, and giving it a warm hug because it really felt cold inside my chest.
the promise of forever and ever is no cast in stone. no insurance company would ever issue a policy of broken hearts and shattered dreams. even marriage, with a binding agreement in black and white recognized in all courts, is not a guarantee of eternal bliss. you can get alimony, though. when a chapter comes to an end, you cry and mourn the passing of an era. give it to the grieving it deserves, but don't hold on to something that would hurt more than give happiness.
every cloud has a silver lining, everything happens for a reason, there is a bigger plan- all cliches and all true. it doesn't mean that we don't get battle scars, but that's all it really is.
still, however trampled, we might have gotten in the past, it's no reason to immediately suspect the next candidate as a potential sadist whose only purpose is to karate-chop your fragile heart to pieces.
every person is unique; and while learning from past mistakes is good, we shouldn't get cynical about love in all forms. there are no rules in handling relationships, and even if there were life would be utterly boring we'd all be flinging ourselves down a cliff and be extinct..
