All of us can relate to certain points in our life where we reach a crossroads where you can choose to continue playing the game, or quit, and have nothing to do with the nonsense that has been plaguing you and trying your patience. Here's the low-down, if you play on, you are seen as persevering in the face of adversity, you are seen as fighting for what you believe in, you want to achieve where so many others have failed... But... Is it worth it? In the context of a relationship, is that other person really that meaningful to you? If you cut him/her out of life, would your heart split in half and bleed for eternity? NO! There are times, where despite the numerous times you've sacrificed yourself in order to make it work, the other party does absolutely nothing to show that YOU mean anything to them. For a relationship to work, communication is key, and mutual respect of the desires, hopes and dreams of the other person. I personally can't stand knowing that a person I care for would not reach their full potential or live their life to the fullest if I am the reason for holding her back. Love is doing what you enjoy, with someone who respects or admires whatever it is you do. They are along for the ride, and vice-versa, you are also along in the ride of their life.
