Maintaining a relationship doesn't just come from one side, it takes two to make things happen. No one should always be giving and no one should always be taking. Be it giving or taking, both should benefit from the relationship if a balance is obtained. People get tired of giving all the time, and people start taking the relationship for granted if all he or she does is take. Although people give without hoping for anything in return, we should not let someone go through the torture of feeling being taken for granted. If you love someone, say it today.

Things don't always go the way you want them to and sometimes all you want to do is to throw your tantrum at everyone around you. However, you will soon realize that at such times, it's always those who love you the most who are around you. So in the end, you end up hurting these wonderful people that care for and love you. The next time, when things don't go your way and you're about to throw a bitch fit, open your eyes and take a look at your loved ones, who're standing right beside you. Don't let your frustration and rage blind you. These people are there for a reason, not for you to vent your frustrations on, but to stand by you and hold your hand when you need help. They are there simply because of love, and they deserve to be treated with the same or even more love from you.

Insecurities are little rocks in your path that obstruct you from moving further, be it in love or in life. If you're not going to believe what you have, and make full use of it, who is going to believe you? How will things happen if you cannot even trust yourself and your loved ones? Take that leap of faith today. If you love someone, trust him or her. Even if in the end, that person betrays your trust, it is one lesson learnt. Life is an entire series of lessons, isn't it? What we must remember, is not to doubt, is not to question the ones whom we have placed our trust in, but to remind ourselves not to repeat past mistakes.

I am thankful for the people I have met in my life.

For those who have left me, you were never meant for me in the first place and I wish you all the best in your future.

For those who are doubting me, thank you for that because you have ignited the flame on my ego and I am going to prove myself.

For those who believe in me, thank you for that because you don't know the kind of strength it gives me to pull through every single day and taking up every single challenge that comes in my way.
