Life as a single person offers
many rewards, including learning how to build a healthy relationship with
yourself. However, if you’re ready to share your life with someone and want to
build a lasting, worthwhile relationship, life as a single person can also be
very frustrating.
Finding the right romantic partner is often a difficult journey,
for several reasons. Perhaps you grew up in a household where there was no role
model of a solid, healthy relationship and you doubt that such a thing even
exists. Or maybe your dating history consists only of short, abrupt
relationships where you or your partner gets bored too soon, and you don't know
how to make a relationship last. You could be attracted to the wrong type of
person or making the same bad choices, due to an unresolved issue from your
past. It's also possible you're not putting yourself in the best environments
to meet the right person, or that when you do, you don't feel confident enough
to approach someone. There is fear in your heart. Then eventually, instead of opening your doors for a new relationship you deprive yourself to be loved by other opposite sex. On the other hand, having a new short-term relationship after break-up is just only a sweet revenge from your past failed relationship. The worst thing is, if you are using someone else as a rebound or just to feed your fantasies.
This is
another article of mine I want to share. The experience I felt with these lovely couples from China.
It was on
August 16, at the arrival jetty when Mr. Peng and Ms. Rui (honeymooners)visit Jumeirah Vittaveli. Plastering their biggest smile ever with high spirit as
they make a pose in front of the camera.
The
following day, we did a 45-minute photo shoot around the island. Full of laughter
and action as we go along with the shoot.
Despite
warm weather and heat of the sun, they still manage to smile and show off their
genuine expressions which make the
capture more realistic.
As we go
along, Ms. Peng (Florence), shared their love story. They are very kind, humble and funny couple.
I am very grateful, that I am part of their memorable experience during their vacation here in Maldives.
