Rocky Balboa

A very meaningful conversation in Rocky.
"somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you.
You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you that you are no good.
When things got hard, you started looking for someone to blame.
The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. Its a very mean and nasty place.
No matter how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there
permanently if you let it. You me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life.

BUT IT AINT ABOUT HOW HARD YOU HIT, ITS ABOUT HOW HARD YOU CAN
GET HIT AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

THATS HOW WINNING IS DONE!

Now if you know what you are worth, go out and get what you are worth. You gotta be willing to take the hits and stop pointing fingers."

Personally, I love this conversation. What was said is so true. Unless we take responsibility for our actions, we aint living.

Words of a virgin

Had a meaningful conversation with my bro. Here is some of the stuff she said:"
Ultimately all couples argue from time to time, its a matter of sitting down and working things out. What matters is both of u know what u want. and that both of u feel its right everything else is minor when compared to that cos the chemistry and connection are the only things that u cant manufacture or work out.

Wonderful and encouraging words from a pal.

Anyway sometimes when a person matters so much we tend to expect more. Expectation is good, it sets standards and allows for more to be achieved. Anyway just to lay it out, arguements are normal. So as long as it remains under control. When it esculates out of control and neither party notices it, thats when things get really ugly. In the end, self-awareness is important. I agree that I need more tact, with regards to that I am learning. No one is born knowing everything, give me a chance to grow and likewise give me the pleasure of growing with you. Nothings matters as much when you are not around. Wine doesnt taste as good, gals dun look as pretty and porn doesnt bring as much blood. Slowly but surely, one step at a time, together we can.

Love u hunnie. =)

Just another day of quarrels

Just a point to ponder about, when you are expected to be committed in a relationship, how far would you go to be in it? I know I would go all out. Everything within my means.

Sometimes, it better to be aware of certain things late then never. If you think you made a wrong decision let the person know early, dun wait till things are too late. Likewise, if you know you have made a right decision dun hesitate to let the person know everyday. I know I made the right choice in choosing you. Pls allow yourself to prove me right. Love you.

Communication

How would you feel if someone important to you told you this when you quarrelled?

Fine.

Fuck this all.

I give up.

What do all this imply? I dun know about anyone else. This seems to me that you are giving up a relationship with me. And everytime there is a dispute, this comes up. Its rather disappointing and saddening to hear something like that and incredibly hard to swallow.

I agree that love is not enough. However, I also believe that love makes us go that additional mile. 100 miles, 100000000 miles for that case so as long as there is love. Love is irrationale. Love is also irreplaceable. I do not know if love will be enough but what I do know is that, Love once gone will never come back again. I have loved enough and braved enough storms to know what I what. I know I love you. I also know that I love you more than you love me. I hope that there will come a day I am loved more than I have loved.

Inadequate we are as human beings. Different we are from animals in that we have the ability to consciously want to be better. The ability to know that what we are doing is not enough and to think of ways to improve. Conscious enough to know that: "Hey this is what I want and I will do whatever it takes to make sure it happens." I also do know that it also takes two. It takes two to clap when one party is not committed to make it happen no matter what, it becomes a slap. Clap I want, slap I shun.

Life will never be smooth sailing. So as long as there is a portion of life that is good, Life is good. By that I mean personal health, wellness of family, etc. If you expect everything to go your way and then life is good: be thoroughly disappointed. Life is full of challenges and hardship. That has been the rule, the norm, the way things has been since the start of time. Its either you learn to handle the stress or you will collapse everytime you face a challenge. Please know that whether it be a challenge, or a 1000 challenges, I will be behind you no matter what.

I am rather disturbed and disappointed that you asked for some time off. No matter what happened that thought has never crossed my mind. Just to let you know that when you asked for time off, some part of my heart cracked. Take all the time you want. I will not disturb you again till you are ready. Call me when you need me. Take care.

I forgive you for the times you hurt her.

I forgive you for not answering my calls when I called you.

I forgive you for being abusive towards her.

I forgive you for refusing to listen to her.

I forgive you when you choose to be stubborn.

I forgive you for the times when you acted with pride but regretted.

I forgive you for being childish.

I forgive you for not seeing your own faults.

I forgive you for blaming me for everything that happened.

I forgive you for making use of her mother.

I forgive you for all the foul things you said.

I thank you for allowing my life to be so much more beautiful because I now have her.
