Sink or Swim

Adapted from Google images

As females we are hooked on those romantic films and novels where by the heroin always ends up with the hero. Destiny??? Well when we watch and read these things and are introduced to the main characters, the plot, the complication of the story and finally the happily ever after. However we never get to see what happens after the happily ever after. I like to think of relationships as a sink or swim situation. By that I mean it has ups and downs and often we are clouded by everyone’s opinions about relationships. 

I came across a feature in the Woman’s Health magazine for the August 2013 edition on, “How do you see your Relationship”; within the article they approach 5 different angles. The first being what your friends think it should be, next what Hollywood thinks it should be, following what the marketers think it should be, of course it has to have what you think it should be and finally what it really is. The reason this article caught my attention, is that it is true. Often most girls like me do want that Mr BIG, or our Superman to fly us around and Hollywood does play a major role on what we portray a relationship to be. Then there is the matter of what my friends have. Being around people that are in relationships and you being the one that is single can make you want the relationship more but when in a relationship it either works or doesn’t.

The article goes on by saying that as an individual you have the power to determine your happiness and not anyone else. Regardless whether you are single or in a relationship you need to choose what you want your purpose of your relationship status to be. There shouldn't be a sink or swim situation, there should only a destination, and the best part of it, is you make that choice of your arrival...
