> >
> > Let us always remember that our relationships are put

> >
> >
> >
> >
> > Remember, there is no burden so heavy that it cannot

> > be lightened by an open, honest and peaceful exchange
> >
> > of thoughts and feelings. Fights are inevitable.
> >
> > Oftentimes, we hurt those we love because we insist on
> >
> > protecting our own feelings. Selfishness is a poison
> >
> > that recklessly kills relationships. It is only when
> >
> > we set aside our pride, arrogance and anger that we

> > would make us happy. Most of the time, the happiness
> >
> > we get from satisfying our own want is happiness that
> >
> > we deprive others of. Our joy is their pain and our

> > rise is their fall.
> >
> >
> >
> > Some relationships survived one of the most difficult
> >
> > trials. They owe it to God who has watched over them
> >
> > all throughout the most trying times of their lives.
> >
> > They understood because they listened to what each of

> > them were trying to say. They realized what was going
> >
> >
> > on because they talked about their feelings. They hurt
> >
> > each other badly because they both became selfish. But
> >
> > the pain felt was washed away by the fact that love,
> >
> > among all the feelings that they shared, still
> >
> > remained the strongest pillar with which they have

> >
> > Indeed, beautiful things will always be built of the

> > how much pain we feel that matters. What matters is
> >
> > that we are able find a space in our hearts to forgive

> > What matters more is the joy that feeling brought us.
> >
> > What matters most is that we loved at all.
