From the Editor’s Desk
Just the other day I dropped a
glass and it broke into a million
pieces. This was not new to
me seeing as I have done this a
number of times over the years but this
time breaking that glass was different.
As I picked up the pieces I thought
about the many things that have broken
in our lives, are soon thrown away and
forgotten but what really got to me the
most is that there are some things we
break including our own relationships
with a loved one, a family member or
friend, that we regret, get upset or angry
about when they are broken because we
together, all brand new, but unfortunately
we can’t, because if its gone its gone for
good. If its broken its broken.
How many of our relationships
whether plutonic or not have broken and
we have tried so hard to put the pieces
issue here is that we should all go back to
those feelings and remind ourselves that
this is not something you want happening
again in the future.
Everyone should remember like all
things material, relationships too can be
lost in an instant. It’s this fragility that
should spur us on to value and nurture
the relationships we have. No relationship
is bulletproof, all relationships are fragile,
however, most of us often forget this
especially when we have it good. We then
take what we have for granted.
Do you want to wait till you have
to put the pieces together or would it
not better to nurture and protect the
people get comfortable and quite easily
people start to treat their loved ones
like they will always be there, once this
is done, you hardly even see that there’s
something wrong until its too late.
Until its broken. Do not wait for that
to happen. Remember this quote by J.D.
Spoon, “Relationships are like glass.
Broken Glass
They are fragile and easily
broken. You can pick up
the pieces and put them
back together, but you
Even if you do and manage
to reassemble them,
the cracks will
always
show.
The real trick
is deciding if
its worth
p i e c i n g
b a c k
together
o r
t h r o w i n g
it away and
starting over.”
We all want
the best there is
for ourselves and the
relationships we care
about. This requires
effort on your part, I
therefore implore you
to do the right thing.
Repeat this mantra
I came across while
reading, “If you want
to have love in abundance,
you must be committed to it.
Commitment is the true test
of love. If you want to have
loving relationships you
must be committed to loving
relationships.
When you’re committed
to someone or something,
quitting is never an option.
Commitment
distinguishes
a fragile relationship from
a strong loving one.” We all
deserve this kind of love, the
fullness of it and not the halves
that come with brokeness but
its eveyone’s responsibility to do
what they have to, to have it.
