Relationship Goals

I know this any be a touchy subject. When you start out in a serious relationship you don't know how big it can get. Hindsight is something we all wish we had. Hoping for the best can be empowering, but has potential to feel foolish. Planning for the worst can be considered cynical or smart. I'm not going to brag or pout about my relationship here. I will leave you with this. Have you ever seen the good in someone that in tough times left you drained but still made sure things in your lives were secure?

My boyfriend left me while i was still pregnant and had no work. He left me drained but somehow i feel secure when i had my daughter because she serves as my inspiration to do the impossible things. She makes me feel love with her hug and kisses whenever i feel tired and sad. She always say 'i love you mom and you are the best mom in the world" it makes me whole and alive again. I even think that i am a superwoman whose willing to do things for her. The only love on earth that is real is the love of a mother to their child. Because i've been there.

When I began my relationship I just took it day to day at first. I didn't really plan for the future, I kind of just waited to see what would happen and where things would go. It worked for us. We have been together almost 7 years and are engaged to be married. We are in no hurry to get married though. We are happy the way we are.

Well I will say I tried my very best. However it was very one sided, so it did not take me long to leave.

There are different kinds of people in the world. People who give their all, people who give nothing, people who give too much, and people who actually are equal and help each other out. I'm currently in a relationship where we are trying to help each other, we both had really bad relationships and we are just good with talking to each other. We never know how things are going to end up. It is better just to take things easy and see where things go!

I avoid having relationship goals. No relationship is perfect. And the worst part of it is that's it's mostly the ones exhibiting and deliberately showing a perfect relationship( ie relationship goals) that mostly have less than perfect relationships. When you expect too much from a relationship, you get disappointed. That's just my opinion tho.

Usually, relationship has ups and downs. Both of couple needed to go through the trials and errors to know whether both are suitable for each other or not in times of good or bad
