Relationship..........(P.2)

There's always the friends that kind of spring out neccessecity because you are around that person all the time. You find this a lot in families, and sometimes in circumstances where maybe two sets of parents are very close friends and therefore you have to spend every 'Tuesday evening' with their daughter whether you like it Or not. Those can stay at the tolerance level Or develop into deep and beautiful relationships. Especially in families, part of what can make these so strong is the basic knowledge that the person is stuck with you for at least an extended period of time whether they appreciate it Or not, and that gives you the security that in some way they will always be there for you. Not always of course, and sometimes these relationships end sadly, but they usually at least stay at tolerance levels. I'd call this a clan relationship. Sometimes you get to have a relationship with someone that is based on mutual respect, trust, self--less--ness, and beliefs Or values. These relationships never really die because the tie goes so deep it isn't broken with time. People in these relationships will frequently be willing to go the extra mile for eachother and work at the relationship, because they both place such a high value on the other person. Perceived betrayal by these sorts of people can also be the hardest to deal with, because of that deep level of trust that comes with it, and that's probably one of the few things that will actually sever the relationship. Short of that, these relationships are the ones you can always fall back on because you know you can be who you are and be accepted and loved and protected for it, no matter what you've done meanwhile. I'd call this a loving relationship. Now I'm going to work. But before you do, think about all that and ask yourself how you treat others. how you are treated, what kind of relationships you have, and what you want to change Or keep doing. And realize that it's okay for all relationships to be a little different, and it's natural for them to grow and shrink, come and go, wax and wan, that's why the ones that last are called golden.
