Thinking of you

Thinking of you is like a Philosophy, the more you know, the more you do not know or the more you will realize how vague things out. In the relationship (in general term), we are taught that “love” can be willed, that others owe us affection, obedience and respect.  Philosophy is in its essence about relationships – the relationship between a statement and its truth-value; the relationship between logic and empiricism, “self” and “other”, choice and virtue, integrity and happiness – the mind and reality. However, most importantly, philosophy is about our relationship with about each other.

With all these, the existence of being and of being per se, of something in nothingness would be futile to fathom the reality that we both are in – LDR. I can take the challenge of philosophy though how hard it is but the challenge of our relationship might be greatest battle I need to conquer for my own existence. This is so because I am a PHILOSOPHER.

Somewhat like getting smarter in a relationship is needed. But it is not a new kind curriculum that requires practical skills and useful knowledge for forming emotionally healthy, mutually respectful, and ethically sounds relationship. This might need various methodologies of teaching-learning process wherein modern pedagogue should and must be established for a more positive outcome. Building relationship is not just call but an action that an expression is at stake for this to prosper. Preparation and commitment in ensuring that bumpy road come our way will be surpassed. This is so because I am a TEACHER.

Our relationship is not an instant noodles or a 3 in 1 coffee. Building romantic connections require planning and constant monitoring and evaluation. Powerful feelings of attractions, rejections and of myriad other emotions are natural phenomenon which may put our relationship at risk most of the time. We may have started out with shared goals and a clear sense of direction for our relationship and future together. Sometimes relationships are like a journey on a ship with two co-pilots. This was where we started and continue to believe and pray to hold on that promise. With this clear vision and commitment to our goal, this is so because I am a DEVELOPMENT WORKER.

Talking about the dreams, goals, and values we have for our life and relationship can help strengthen our emotional connection. It can give us an opportunity to hear another’s perspectives and to honour what each of us brings to the relationship. These conversations can help us become co-pilots who are charting the same course together in our relationship’s journey.

In our journey, we learn how to love and be loved, its expressions.  There are no quick fixes or fast-track methods to satisfaction and happiness in our relationship. Most strategies for enhancing our relationship require repetition and practice over time. We will wake up every morning and will work for this relationship to work. We may not the perfect couple we aspire to be or we look forward into. We may not have the enough time spending the moment with one another. Though communication be our weakest link, communication be our bond. This is so because I am your LOVER.
