Heres an abstract from an article i just read

"Minimise the pain you feel by not giving away too much of yourself emotionally too soon.Love is not an overnight occurrence.It is not a word to be thrown around to someone you've just met. It is something that builds over time and bonds people together. If we let it. 
It is a risk to love. What if it doesnt work out? But what if it does?"
-Peter Mcwilliams


Drawing parallels to how Jerome and I communicate....Well to be honest,today is the 3rd month that we have been together and yet we haven't had any major quarrels so far.....Like how do i put it? Yes,just like all couples,we do quarrel,however,our quarrels hardly last more than a day,or rather a few hours. We are both vocal people,hence we like to talk it out instead of keeping our unhappiness within us. I am usually the hot-headed and emotional one,whereas Jerome is the logical and calm one. In a way we kind of complement each other cause Jerome listens more than he talk....thus after awhile of listening,he will begin to analyse what the problem is, and sooner or later, I will realize that I wasn't making any sense. People who don't know that we've only been together for 3 months,would often assume that we've been together for a really long time....Maybe its because we're still kinda having the honeymoon period Or that its because we are really close to each other? Or it could be both...From this, I learn that you can't just throw yourself into a relationship as if your whole world now depends on your Bf/Gf. It takes time for people to build that trust towards their partners,and while you're in the midst of doing that,you should have another life apart from your partner as well. One that you can be totally independent in,for example,your family and friends. These 3 branches of your life is equally important,and only if you're able to balance all 3,then will you be able to lead a really fulfilled life 


Ps: Its okay to be single too! Singlehood are times for us to be independent and to enjoy a little 
me time before you find the one!
