Shayon's Labyrinth!

Last couple of days have been a huge tussle and turmoil for me, and a lot others who matter and care for me. I have been putting up loads of weird status updates that made no sense at all, other than probably to me and to the one they were supposed to be for. It’s been a week that not just wrung everything most out of me, ever, be it emotionally, physically or even financially, it was also a week that taught me how adversely the simple act of taking your loved ones for granted can affect your relationships.

I always used to have the faith that a good relationship is like good wine (clichéd, I know). You enjoy it more with time. It ripens more with age. With age comes the maturity, the easiness, the feeling that just by sitting beside the one you love gives you a world of warmth and comfort, even if they do not speak a single word. One of my ideal scenarios is when she and I sit on a beach, watching the sun setting, little kids making castles with the sand, young couples splashing water at each other, the older ones walking with their hands held, cutting down the horizon at multiple sections, little fishing ships returning back home after their day’s catch, and all this while I could feel every single emotion my love has been going through, by not even looking at her. Yes, probably that’d be the most perfect date for me, the perfect evening, with the perfect partner.

Relationships are probably the most complicated human phenomenon known to me. Because, to understand your relationship, you do not just need to understand your partner, but rather her needs, her whims, her close ones, her family, friends, you need to understand what makes her tick, you need to memorize what ticks her off, you need to constantly improvise on making her orgasm, not just physically but emotionally too. You need to understand her career, and you need to understand her circumstances. Unless you make a damn good job at figuring all of this out, you relationship is bound to get fucked for good, if not today, definitely tomorrow. And you know what would frustrate you the most? Even if you do all of the above and more, there is no guarantee that your relationship won’t get fucked over and over again.
