Relationships are Fragile

relationships-are-fragile

Relationships are fragile.  The reason why we often hurt more the ones who love us most is because we do not realize this.

We take for granted the people who are always there for us and we care not to be as careful with their feelings as we are with people we hardly know.

A careless word.  A negligent irrespectful act.  We often think we can get away with anything when we are with the people who love us.

While it is true that they will extend to us their utmost understanding, it is also true that they are but human beings after all.

They get hurt.  And they get hurt the most by the people they love the most.

Relationships are fragile.  It is far easier to protect it and to take care of it rather than to mend it when it is already broken into a million shattered parts.

Must we spend our precious time trying to gather the broken pieces?  Or should we rather spend our moments checking our tongues, saying words of encouragement, holding the hands of the people who truly matter to us?

Relationships are fragile.  They are gifts to be cherrished and protected and taken care of as much as we take care of our own hearts.

True. I hadn’t known it, but it’s one of a number of hard lessons I’ve learned at this point, in my fifteenth year of a rare, incurable progressive disease. It finally left me too disabled to work back in 03. That kind of stress can turn a small crack in a relationship into a fracture.

Hi Jocelyn,

This is a lovely post. Carelessness and neglect can hurt a relationship more than intended slights or conscious arguments. Thanks for the reminder.

I love your new blog design! This is the Simple Balance theme right? I’m using it too, but have probably adjusted it beyond recognition. Your site looks clean and neat, and the colour scheme you chose is beautiful!
