On The 11th

This day, we are notified that it's just a month until we celebrate our first ever year together. Time flies, I know, the cliche irritates the ear now, even mine, mind you, but it is always so annoyingly true. Most of the time. And is, funny as it seems, annoying just the same when it seems to drag so slowly like a snail trying to walk or a crab trying to jump instead to reach its destination. Either way, time is time, and is gonna be time, and we're gonna be bound to it long as this life permits us to be, so the only way to spend it is to spend it well, or squander it with life itself altogether. Now where is this headed to? I'm so out of the topic!

Well, of course gratitude fills me the farther we get. And I know we've gone a considerable distance now. We've invested and built up a lot of things, foundation and stuff, as I might prefer to call them. And that's what they really are, as is fit for the purpose they serve: foundations. We've built them together, and continue to build them. You can't avoid the distractions and the recurring shakes that will put those so-called foundations to the test, but they are subtly meant to make them and the whole relationship just stronger and stronger. You may not know it, but you may also be benefiting from it, as a good side effect. Depends on how you handle unlikable stuff though. The "shakes," you don't survive them, for they are not hardships, you pass them, for they are tests, much like you pass an exam or a subject in school. Oh boy, here I go on the reflective again.

Lest me just end this by saying the most essential truth that is, what's most vital is that you set God, and let Him be, at the center of the relationship. Pray it. Everything else follows.
