One-sided Relationships

I expect to get in hot water over this because many people believe that love should be 100%. But you can’t get 100% from everyone including the person you love. Most relationships are lop-sided, uneven and unfair. But that’s life, too! Step back and be objective about past relationships. Thinking back, haven’t you noticed that whenever you fell in love with someone, you start by falling flat on your face? You love her, she loves someone else. So you begin the task of getting her to notice and fall in love with you. You are already trying to push the snowball uphill and you get tired pretty quick, but you don’t give up because you’re keeping hope alive. Wake up! Every now and then, you recognize and she recognizes that there is potential with the two of you. Both of you put forward the effort and once in a while it works out. But think, which one of you love the other more? Who learned the lesson from breakups and broken hearts? Can it be balanced enough? One thing is guaranteed. Any relationship is hard work and if you both intend for it to last, take the good with the bad. And if you want to give 100%, go ahead. If it doesn’t work out, don’t get all broken up and hurt someone. Nobody forced you, you made the choice.
