Transparency & Honesty: Keys To a Healthy Relationship

Everyone changes for one of two reasons. Either we learn enough that we want to change, or we've been hurt enough that we have to. Don't be afraid of this change. You may feel that you lost some things good, but you have definitely gained something better.

Once we realize that our situation isn't conducive to where we want to be in our lives, we instill change. We do this because we learn through our life lessons and so we make a change.

Or we want to change because of verbal or physical abuse by the other person and/or ourselves. Sometimes when two people spend a length of time together, they start to collide, like oil and water. When our bad outweighs the good, it's time to make a change.

Every struggle you have had in your life has shaped you into the person you are today. Be thankful for the hard times, they have only made you stronger. Those hard times, and failed relationships from your past are a part of you. Don't let them influence your present, just use them to guide you into a healthy and loving partnership. Your worst battle may be between what you know and what you feel. You need to understand that the experience of your past is simply knowledge. Utilize that knowledge only as a guideline, but realize that your current feelings are valid. Try not to let your past experience get in the way of your feelings, because you may just throw something good away out of fear of reliving your past.

One day someone walks into your life and makes you see why it never worked out with anyone else. One day you meet someone who makes you feel happy, beautiful, and stands by you even when you feel you don't deserve them. When you have found that right person who makes you happy, don't let them go. If you have the power to make that someone happy, do it. The world needs more of that.

Always tell me how you feel, because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye, but regret can last a lifetime. Don't think too much. You'll create a problem that wasn't even there in the first place. Don't criticize what you don't understand. Over thinking kills happiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off things that don't help you. Think positive.

I love and care for you. Never ignore me. because one day you may realize that you've lost the moon while counting the stars. Say you're sorry. Apologizing does not always mean you are wrong. It just means that you value our relationship more than your ego. You are now with someone who won't stay mad at you, who can't stand not talking to you, and who's afraid of losing you. Just remember, I love everything you hate about yourself.

...if you want something real. Transparency is key to an honest and loving relationship. Stop waiting and make your move, before it's too late. Stop worrying about the future and be thankful for what you've been blessed with so far. Cherish the one you love. Don't take them for granted. We all have skeletons in our closets. In order for a relationship to really work, we need to put it all out on the table.

You are my everything & I mean that from the bottom of my heart. You are loved.
