Love

There are 7 stages of relationship according to this video.

Stage 1: Meeting
Stage 2: The chase
Stage 3: Honeymoon
Stage 4: Comfortable
Stage 5: Tolerance
Stage 6: Downhill
Stage 7: Breaking up

What hit me was the line during the fourth stage – Comfortable

“Being comfortable isn’t necessarily bad. It’s one where we could truly be ourselves but it depends on what you do with that comfort. Some used it positively, continuing to work at their relationship, grow together, but others allow it to create distance.

For Marisa and I we just took each other for granted.Whether its taking each other for granted, or people changing over time, the bottom line is, someone stops trying, and feelings aren’t always as strong as before.”

To me this is the most dangerous stage of all because you didn’t realise you are driving to the wrong direction. You thought, yeah everything is good but least that you know you are going to get lost, which will lead to the tolerance or downhill.

You take things for granted, samada secara sedar ataupun tidak.

Once you are lost, it will be  difficult to find your way back. Not impossible but it take more than hard work , it needs lots of patience. Because some time, it  seems macam your effort mean nothing and you will feel exhausted dan rasa nak let go.

But then when this happens, pujuk yourself by remembering that is the person who you used to fall head over heels in love with, who  made you smile like an idiot the whole day. It will worth the effort.

Unless that person is not worth it.

So, are you and your loved ones strangers again or becoming to be one?

If you are, it’s not too late to make things right.
