Please excuse my excessive posting today! I am just currently going through a rather confusing time in my life and there is so much going on in that over thinking, overanalyzing yet small head of mine!
I have spent a lot of time with myself and by myself the last couple of days (that doesn't mean I have been alone, yet it means that I have been drowned in my thoughts even during the hours I have spent around different people)…
One of the most interesting ideas when that just bubbled up in my head was the thought of him, her and them… The thought of relationships in general… What they truly are; their essence…
Relationships, the ones that matter any way, are really similar to construction work!
The concrete, the wood, the stones and the iron greatly resemble what the two sides of the relationship bring: their experiences, hopes, dreams, moods, personalities, habits, negatives, positives, etc…
The construction workers are the two people in the relationship…
The building is the relationship itself…
Just as in the construction of any building, the stronger the base, the better the outcome… The weaker the base, the more shaky and wobbly the results will be!
The more time and effort the workers put in the construction, the faster the building will grow…
Now, once the workers decide to abandon that building, it will be left as it is, on its own, just waiting for someone to come along and blow it up leaving an empty space, a hollow scar…
Think about it… How many building have you constructed? How many have you left behind?

beautiful beebee ...
small head but big ideas!! :)
well, i always try to build.. i always try to keep on building and constructing specially with relations that matter, and relations that proved that they r good and useful in a lot of times and occasions!! but as u know, one worker in a building cannot finish the job alone, it's gonna put double the work on him, and who knows when he gets tired and leave the whole thing!!
so as u said, The more time and effort the workers put in the construction, the faster the building will grow...
wonderful post beebee ;)
