The Responsibility of Relationship

Although relationships are challenging at times, sometimes the payoff of a good relationship is the greatest. I have been down the road of many relationships, some good some bad. I can count the ones that have brought great satisfaction. I can also count the ones that I have given satisfaction. Ha ha ha... and that is at lease how I view it.

I have the view some relationships are hard work. Some of my friends were high maintenance. Some of my were low maintenance. I feel that I had a responsibly to give my true self in relationships. I can't be someone else, I can only be me. And I pray that others are that same way. We can only act for so long. The real us will come out sooner or later.

why put up a facade that will eventually fade. We have to give people a chance to either accept or reject who we are. If they like us or not. Some will make judgments based on outward appearance. Actually these are the friends that are short-lived. Some will make judgments off of what they think that they can get from you. The latter is not something that I like, but it is the easiest one to which I can say no. I am a musician, and some can only love me while I play music, other than that, they can do with out me.

I have alway felt that I have the responsibility to show people who I am. I reserve the right to keep some facets of my self reserved for they are a matter of privacy.
