stick

There is something to be said about a person who can withstand the weight of someone elses world, alongside their own. This goes for anyone who is able to take on someone elses hurt, and love, and past and future - to anyone who can devote themselves and their lives to sharing it with somebody else. I am only now, after 23 years in this world, understanding what a relationship truly is and the comitment it entails. I think I had led myself to believe that I knew all there was to know because I am a mother and that is the greatest relationship one could have, right? Not exactly - don't get me wrong, it is by-far the most amazing... but it is a special type of relationship. It is one that is formed instantly and unconditionally - without thought or questioning. There is no choice on who this person will be, or what they may look like - they just are your children, and it's as simple as that. An adult relationship has so many more complications and intricacies. There is choice, and rights and wrongs - there are components that will encase you, sometimes erase you. It is definitely, without a doubt, a devotion - a comitment of one's self, mind, body and soul. It is a lot of things, I suppose... but there is a lot to be said, about those who choose it and stick with it.
