Everything is fast these days- the food we eat, the clothes we wear (ready-made outfits), the way we compute, our transportation, the way we communicate etc.
‘The faster, the better’ seems to be the motto of this generation. Yet, not everything answers to that slogan. Some things have refused to bow to this trend and if you want to get the best out of them, you have to go the old-fashioned way of ‘slow and steady’.
Relationships- good, productive relationships are one of the things that require the old-fashioned touch to work. Yes, online dating and various apps are there to make it easier and faster but then the one that always works best and is more reliable is the good, old face-to-face.
Thus, if you want to enjoy a healthy relationship that is actually heading somewhere then you have to be ready to put in the work and time.
You can’t have it at the snap of a finger; it’s not a 3-minute plate of noodles. Also, you can’t expect to handle it carelessly or give it little attention and then still have it blossom; you can’t have your cake and still eat it.
Don’t be pissed when your partner wants to spend more time with you. Don’t be pissed when your relationship seems to be moving slower than you expected. You can’t set a timer on your relationship and assume it will work it the way you planned; it is not a time bomb. Don’t be pissed when your partner does not open up to you as much as you want.
Simply learn patience. Give it your best and take it a step at a time. Relationships take a lot from you; they are meant to.
Great thoughts, good & successful relationships take hard work.
