Relationships

People can be quite complicated, and navigating relationships with people, even more so. Whether platonic or romantic, there is no perfect relationship, and love does not conquer all.

It takes effort, patience and tolerance to make relationships work. There has to be mutual respect and understanding. You have to be intentional and willing to extend grace to one another because everyone functions differently. Remember that life does not always happen to everyone at the same time, in the same way. There is no one size fits all.

It is very important to define the relationships you have and know the boundaries of each one. Take your time before committing to a relationship instead of jumping in headfirst. Not all relationships stand the test of time and not all are meant to last a lifetime. It is important to be able to recognize when a particular relationship has run its course and I promise, it's okay to walk away when you are at that point.

All my love,
