TOW: Relationships

It's funny how relationships change over time.

We always think people will be in our lives forever.

But the truth is, relationships change, people do things differently than in the past...they're often trying to figure out what makes them happiest. 

In my life, as long as I'm not have a cynical moment...I think everything changes.  Life goes on...children are born, friends and family members die...life goes in a cycle. 

In my brighter moments, I sometimes think about the phases of life, and what sort of phase I'm currently in.

I know that the relationships in my life can't all stay the same forever.  They have to evolve, or die.  Behavior that repeats itself over and over is probably negative behavior.  Positive relationships don't stay the same...they evolve with the people who are constantly changing, aging, healthy or sick, smart or not-so-smart, wise or unwise in their lives.  Negative relationships ask us to always remain the same, and never change.

But we can't stay the same...for our relationships, and our inner selves deserve better.  We all need to be able to evolve and find ways to be happy.

Life isn't worth living without great relationships.  But great relationships really only exist when we evolve with those relationships.
