It's been awhile since I've really spoken to my Aunt about personal perspectives. In particular, was relationships. A topic which she had brought up and got me thinking - got me seeing from all different angles. She made sure that I'd listen attentively to every word that came out as advice and concern from her mouth.
I sense happiness in them both, my grandma and my aunt to know that I'm unattached to anyone right now, that I've chosen studies over boys. I can also sense that high hopes are put upon me, their belief in me- something which I've been told time and time again. It's like a boost of energy to hear them constantly remind me that they believe in me, that they trust me. A fact that i know only too well to not let down.
My aunt also talked about 'divorce' - a reality to a relative of mine. Aunt Sharon had said that in marriage, three things should be carried out in a couples everyday life.
- give and take.
- forgiveness.
- compromise.
I believe if these aren't carried out by an individual in a marriage or a relationship, it's just a lost cause. No?
We'd also come across 'tolerance'. Something I, myself is lacking from most of the time. I'd come to realize that tolerating people is so much better than unnecessarily causing a friction between individuals. Cause' it's not worth picking a fight with someone when at the end of the day, when you think it through, you realize that you could've avoided it all. I know only too well from all the past frictions I've shared with my brother, in particular.
All in all, it was nice having to have a little bonding time together. It's something i never knew i missed until now.
To mum, thanks for not taking back the laptop though you had work that needed completion.
I'd be bored to death if you somehow did.
