Relationships

This week has been one of those weeks that I have really looked back on relationships. Not only have I thought about dating relationships but friendships. I have come to realize that no matter where you are, how far apart you are, if it’s meant to work it will. My best friend lives in Arkansas right now that's 12 hours away. Another close friend of mine lives in New York which just happens to be 12 hours as well. Once I move back to Arkansas I'll see my best friend more yes but will we really be any closer than what we are now. I know that if I need her that she is there for me no matter what and vice versa. As for Jess in New York I haven't seen her in almost four years and we still talk, yes we may be closer if I return to New York, but still again like Sarah I know that Jess is there for me and I am there for her regardless if I am 21 hours away or not. Life is really about decisions.. You decide if you want to stay close to someone or let them go. Since I have lived here in North Carolina I have let several people go. Not that I don't care about them or that our relationship wasn't important just that we have grown in two different directions and we stopped meeting in the middle. Also this week, I watched two movies that are worth seeing again and again because I honestly do believe you can learn from them. "It's Complicated" and "He's Just Not That Into You" really makes you stop and look at relationships.. "He's Just Not That into You" is a little extreme with how people really are or at least the people I know. But if someone cheats on you why take them back.. Why continue to put yourself through things that you can live without? Regardless of the small drama is it as easy as they make it look just to stop loving someone?? Why do we feel so pressured into being with someone that we stay with them because not being with them or more stressful than just making everyone around you happy? It seems to me that life is way too complicated for some people and some relationships. I think that when you find the right person it’s as easy as an important friendship. You complement each other well and you continue to meet in the middle because you care about that person. After all don't you have to put work into any kind of relationship?
