A Quick Quip on Relationships

(1) An Elitedaily article... relationships are all about timing, dated May 2014, this is still a favourite of mine.

(2) Sierra Demulder: “I loved you head over handles like my first bicycle accident – before the mouthful of gravel and blood, I swore we were flying.”

(3) Something I wrote on ask.fm a while ago:

In this day and age, sex (actual or virtual), for the first time, is like Netflix – available on demand. This makes it veritably difficult to distinguish between a relationship (love) and a glorified contract for mutual sexual appeasement.

Sex, is like the frosting on a cupcake: a lot of people buy the cupcake to eat the frosting, but the cupcake isn’t a cupcake without the boring, normal, quotidian filling. People can a hundred cupcake’s worth of frosting and still crave more, because the simple sugars of the frosting are just that, simple.
Similarly, people get into relationships just for the sex, but without the filling, the best friend relationship that implies that they know each other better than anyone else in the world, that he or she knows what the other person is made of – not in the biochemical/sciencey sense but in the intangible, emotional sense – and the ups and downs; the painstakingly-earned trust and the compromises; the forgiving and the forgetting, there is no relationship, no long-lasting satisfaction, just the transient appeasing of an unending hunger.

But what’s a cupcake without the frosting? Well technically a muffin. But nobody likes muffins.

(4) They call it falling in love for a reason. It hurts. However, the key is to never be discouraged... 

Dean Karzanes: “Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.”

Alfred Pennyworth (fictitious): "Why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up."

(5) The person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with is out there creating memories that you'll hear about when you eventually meet them.
