Couldn't put it any better then my main man JC. I have a friend and we've been tight for a long time but lately she and I have been going through a tough time (this is a friendship btw but it applies to romantic relationships cause when you are really in a romantic relationship with someone at least imo it's exactly like a regular best friendship with the romance tacked on as well, but that's just me) anyhoo, been a rough last few weeks but we're getting through it. If I hadn't grown so fond of her and she of me, we'd probably just been like, **** it bye-bye a long time ago. But she's like a sister to me, and I don't want to lose her. I'm scared to, because I remember the good times, and I know that if we keep at it, we will eventually get back to those good times again. Misconceptions and mistrust and various things hurt relationships and make people unhappy. But just think how much more unhappy this world would be if everyone left each other at the drop of the hat. I personally believe very strongly in giving everyone my best shot. I don't feel like I can look myself in the eye if I leave people behind who were/are close to me without giving it my all first. Trust would not exist, it wouldn't truly exist if we didn't work through the hard times and kept a stiff upper lip. You never truly know a person till they go through a hard time. But, you don't ONLY know a person when they are going through a hard time. How they act in a hard time might sometimes not be pretty, but working through it with them may open the door to a better life and closer relationship with that person.
And to me, that's worth sticking through the hard times for. It's worth the risk to me.
