When saying 'I love you' is just... not enough.

Love is probably the greatest drug in the world. You feel more alive. Food tastes better. You sleep better and wake up feeling like you can take on the world. All this... because you know someone out there values you as a human being. All this... because you are loved. But then this feeling is fleeting. Today you may have the love that you deserve and tomorrow you may lose it all. I believe that to love someone is to be able to let go of that somone whom you love.

Love is sacrifice...

This is something that I found while reading aroundon the Internet. It is amazing what you can find these days while doing a google for assignment research. By the way, I am doing a paper on Organizational Management focusing on Interpersonal Communication in the work enviroment. This was what the self improvement website had to say...


Another important factor in a relationship is common life goals.

"If the relationship is going to be long term, we need to be going in the same general direction as the other person. If his dream is to travel as an international businessman and she wants to be a realtor in a single location, conflict could arise. If she wants to live in the countryside with nature and he likes the hustle and bustle of a big city, there are potentially serious problems with the direction of the couple's lives."


This is especially sad... because I believe in true love. One that lasts a lifetime and is basically both transforming and fulfilling. Yeap, I'm one of those hopeless romantics. But, seriously, life is more about practicalities and survival. If you cannot afford a partner (financially, time, emotionally, etc.) you just shouldn't be in a relationship.

I'm really single now, not by choice, but because I just recently had a bad experience. When you get dumped you tend to think alot. Poor me... sob! sob! But anyway, 'cause of life differences and differing preferences on how I and my ex-gf wish to live our lives we sort of drifted apart. I decided that perhaps it is better to just give her space and we broke it off. It was not because of a lack of love... It was more of a lack of time and commitment.

It's basically better to move on, right?
