Riders on the storm

stormy days are over i hope.. its been a rough ride over the past 3 weeks or so and i would like to think of that period as something that we all have to go through to learn.. the hard way no less.. about each other's patterns.. habits.. manners.. lifestyle.. tot process... attitudes.. etc etc.. so its good that at the end of the day.. we've seen enough of the ugly side of each other to still believe in the union and want to work things.. i've also learnt to be a better person and ultimately a better partner after these sessions of anguish and unhappiness... i think we've both found a state of equilibrium that had been lacking for me in the past.. its a matter of coming to terms with the fact tat we're both individuals in our own rights and imposing ideals upon each other is not the way to go.. and yet we've got to balance the fact tat we're in a relationship and is somewhat answerable to the other party with each and every one of our attitudes and behaviour...

i've also grown a lot over the past few months.. the partner has always been someone with a more matured outlook of life than me.. i've learnt a lot about being a 30-something from her and am glad that i've found someone who loves me enough to put up with my childish tantrums at times tat are totally unjustified.. i do realise at the end of the day tat nobody should put up with shit like this.. and yet here is this gal who is willing to put up with me.. i guess its true tat its all about give and take.. and mr darin did mention it succintly by saying "nobody else gives me a thrill.. with all your faults i love you still".. i tot i knew wat its all about.. i was so wrong.. but i tink i do comprehend it now.. i see where she's coming from and these words strike me in such a in-your-face manner tat the realisation of it comes like a breath of air previously totally out of my radar with its purity and untainted freshness.. she does accept me for the person that i am..

"Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out, We can work it out.
Think of what you’re saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s alright.
Think of what I’m saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there’s no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it’s a crime,
So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,We can work it out."

- The Beatles, We Can Work It Out
