complexity

a thought came to mind as i reflected on a friend's blog entry.. as i thought about what she wrote i was reminded of a line from Harry Potter.. when Dumbledore commended Neville Longbottom and said to him, "it takes great courage to stand up to one's enemies, but even more so to stand up to one's friends".

Relationships are funny things - they should be simple but tend to be ever so complicated.. sometimes people are in relationships that appear to be going well, and it takes courage to continue on and ride out any obstacles that may come along the way.. but it takes even more courage to put an end to a seemingly good relationship due to the knowledge that despite how well things are going, that person just isn't the one for them.. then there are those who are going through really rough periods in their relationship.. the easy way would be to walk out on the relationship.. this is not to say that it isn't a tough decision or that it doesn't require courage, but i think that sticking it out requires a great deal more.. it's sorta a reversal of roles between both scenarios.. i don't even know if this makes much sense.. well, it does to me.. although i think that it's rather unfair to classify and judge as each relationship and situation is different..

i actually don't feel like posting this entry.. instead, i feel like deleting it and writing something else.. but for some reason i feel like i should post it, so i will.. if someone reads it and it makes sense to them then good on them.. if not, just take it that im rambling.. haha.. nights all!
