Have you missed a diamond while you were busy gathering stones?
Let's talk about misplaced priorities in relationships and friendships.
When we want to have someone as a friend, we make a constant effort to reach out to them, it all begins with a Hello and then personal questions to know the likes and dislikes of the person and then constant communication to keep the friendship alive.
More is even expected, forgiveness tolerance, patience, compassion and a whole lot more are needed to make the relationship wax stronger and then what happens when this person finally becomes our favourite person?
Most times we become distracted by other activities in life and begin to put less effort than we used to, I've come to realize that friendships or relationships need constant watering to bloom and thrive.
Most of the time we begin to take them for granted because we believe they will always be there for us no matter the trait we put up.
This song I am about to share always strikes a strong chord with me as the artist talks about how we end up losing what we have when we take it for granted.
Time and chances happen to everyone which is why we should make each day count with our loved ones, no need for prolonged quarrels and we don't need to pick up the fight for the littlest things as tomorrow is never promised.
Some people always have the mindset of "soldier go, soldier come, barracks is never empty. but in all honesty, some people are simply irreplaceable, some people are a blessing and no one can bring the kind of aura they bring, some people we meet in life are simply amazing and when we lose them we regret how much we should have done better.
Do you often realize how attached you are to a person when they are no more?
Their smile, the sound of their voice, the way they look out for us and always want to see us win.
"You only miss the sun when it starts to snow."
This part of the lyrics is the highlight of my article.
Effort is needed to make anything work and last, we keep looking for ways to spice up whatever relationship we have with just a little act of kindness, care, and compassion, reciprocity is also an important part of any relationship, looking for ways to reciprocate each kind gesture and showing gratitude at all times.
We should all try to nurture any kind of friendship we have which are worth keeping so that it doesn't strain our relationship and then regret only when it's too late.
Value everybody you come across in life, they are there for a purpose and treat your loved ones right, just how you want to be treated.
Remember that it takes Chaos to appreciate peace when you find that one who brings you the most peace, hold onto them and never make them feel unappreciated.
