a story in progress

A series of events unfolding have by chance reinforced my belief. A belief that to establish and sustain human relationships is in fact a weary process. One has to go through the seemingly endless cycle of introduction, discovery, exchange, bonding and whatnot. I find myself completely drained out just dealing with my current social circle at times. The melodrama, obligations, and conflicts have too often eclipse the merrier aspects of the social contract. Perhaps it's my ideals in a relationship that leaves me feeling consumed during such eclipses. I am inclined to believe that there is an ineffable relationship out there - which is really quite silly of me.

I am reminded that the contract changes as time passes by. And that though it takes conscious efforts to form the social contract in the first place, it takes an even bigger effort to uphold it. As everyone progress and move into different phases in life, things do change accordingly, and human relationships are definitely one of them. That I am aware off.

I lament the loosening of ties as much as I celebrate the integration of ties into my life. Invariably, something is bound to rise while another falls.

At this point, I am not sure where I am heading off with this post anymore. From what seem to begin as an earnest post is rapidly turning into an emo post. I know not how to conclude this.
