Relationships are hard. They demand effort. Tolerance. Compassion. Patience, lots of patience. Love in ridiculous amounts. Looking the other way. Looking right in the eye. They demand thinking. And re-thinking. And thinking some more. Re-shaping. Re-visiting. Re-inventing. Re-viewing. It takes a lot of listening, discovering and more often than not, humbling. "Finding you can change, learning you were wrong". Relationships, much like ourselves, evolve, grow, mature. Sometimes more and faster than the individuals they belong to. They may assume forms we fail to recognize. Or forms that scare us. Drive us away. Challenge us. Give us a reality check. Relationships are not always comforting or comfortable. Relationships hurt. Relationships heal. Relationships, as every and anything that is worthwile in life, are hard.
