Relationships

I think the problem with our dissatisfaction with relationships is that we say that they failed if they ended at some point. But do they really fail? Is there such a thing as failure with relationships just because they come to an end? Maybe they were only meant to last for that amount of time; they're temporary just like everything else in the universe is. But it doesn't mean that it wasn't meaningful or impactful in some way when it was in existence. So perhaps we just need to remember that they don't fail so much as they changed us while we were in them. Perhaps we learn something about ourselves, or learn about what we want and don't want in relationships.

One thing I've realized recently that rather than appreciating what I have, I just focus on wanting more and I miss out on what I do have in the present. Maybe he and I will never be involved romantically but hey, I really enjoy his company, we seem to have a really great connection, and I know I can count on him when I need someone. And maybe this "relationship" or "romance" will never be official so to speak, but how romantic and dramatic if he has the same feelings for me but we never act on them!

And why do we like drama so much? Especially if it keeps us from just getting love. Or, do we really want the love? Maybe we crave drama more...
