The funny thing about relationships is, the effort in the beginning is usually the highest it ever gets. It almost always starts sliding downhill after that, slowly and quietly. It's honestly a little sad how for some people, just gelling into a relationship becomes the final goal. When in reality, it's only supposed to be the beginning of something meaningful, something that actually grows. For them, the other person slowly turns into just a part of the setup, not the center of it. And somehow, everything keeps revolving around them, their desires, their choices, and their direction. And over time, it turns into authority, audacity, and a strange sense of entitlement. So when someone enters your life and suddenly brings a whole lot of happiness, pause and notice. Because that moment often tells you everything about how things are going to unfold.
