Bridge the gap....

Life's best lessons can be learnt only by experience. Sometimes, fate puts a hex on us making us to walk through the toughest paths of life. A seperated friend who means a lot to us can make his/her absence felt very much. Reminds us about the unwarranted quarrels, fugacious anger and of course all joyous moments spent together. The worth of that relationship can only be realized when we start missing each other. According to me, intimacy is directly proportional to quarrels. The more intimate you are, the more you quarrel. Not sure how many of you will agree with this, but this is my perception. Sometimes, time gives us the best possible solution in case of a break in relationship. It is always good to sit together, talk and settle conclusively in case of a conflict, but still... a separation could do wonders. Try giving it a break! We are the masters of the untold word and slaves of the spoken word. Don't let your emotions take over your senses, which would aggravate the problems.

We always wish we could rewind the past, apply a few changes in it and make things happen the way we want. But unfortunately, that's not life! Its important not to get disheartened in case if a misunderstanding occurs and rather find out ways to resolve it. Time is the best medicine and give sufficient time to each other to start the thinking process. Analyzing one's faults would never happen initially, as the brain would've been clouded by anger. Take the much needed break and allow things to settle down. Refresh your thoughts and confess to each other. This can always help in maintaining a healthy relationship. A strain in the relationship is very sensitive and should be handled with utmost care. Treating it gently can remove it treating it heavily can cause even more strain. A truly understanding friendship will resume after a hibernation period.

I am trying to emphasize the fact that, friendship involves different individuals no matter how intimate you are. Respect each other's emotions. Every one has their own likes and dislikes. Don't try to impose your ideas and thoughts on them. Most importantly, put a check on your possessiveness. I wouldn't say that possessiveness shouldn't be there, but it shouldn't bother them(Well, I am planning to post a separate article on it)

Learning from mistakes is always good and learning from others' mistakes is much better. But, try to learn somehow before life whips you and gives you the painful experience, just as it did to me.

Happy friendship day...!
