What part don't you understand?

Communication is very important in any relationship. The absence of it can spell disaster... 


Communication largely contributes to the growth or decay of any relationship.


So what part don't you understand? --- this commonly happens when there is an absence or lack of clarity or even a delay in the exchange of information.


Second guessing, assuming what you are thinking could be a debacle if you don't reach out.

Miscommunication, the worse - no communication, can lead to misunderstanding.
As the old cliche goes --- Listening is the beginning of understanding.

In modern days, communicating comes in different platforms: phone, text, email, social media apps - FB messenger, Skype, Viber, Wee Chat...

So what are you waiting for? Grab that device - let it serve its purpose to achieve your goal --- communicate.

Time

As a matter of FACT...
it's a matter of TIME.

TIME has its own way of changing things.

Time can change intensity to impassivity,
--- fervency to insensitivity...

One can neither slow down time nor suspend it.
--- neither accelerate nor augment it.

Tomorrow can never become today as tomorrow is always another day.

So is yesterday, it is a time gone and is already part of the past.
For whatever was done cannot be undone.
Whatever was said, cannot be unsaid!
In other words, you can never go back to undo it. It already happened, it is done.
You may apologize but you can never take back what you said - Good or bad, nice or not nice...

And so as TIME goes by, things change...

Delays affect outcomes -
TIME impacts decisions, and indecision paralyzes results.

As TIME goes by,
memory fails,
hurt fades away...

And so things change... after all, TIME constantly changes, each moment passing is already part of the past...

What is Love?


Really, what is it?

I just often wonder what love really is... why does one say "I love you"?

Isn't "I love you" just an expression of one's feelings - of affection, of fondness towards the other person? 
It doesn't promise anything, right? Not even a lasting relationship... even if you say forever --- because forever is such a long way of time and time has its way of changing things... a mere promise of forever is not a guarantee to a lasting relationship.


Time changes... as it changes, so with feelings... as change is the only constant, it is inevitable.
