insecurities. every relationship is plagued by insecurities. they are like cantankerous weeds that gnaw at the root of relationships, and are watered by doubt and misunderstanding. paranoia thrives on insecurity. slowly but surely, we are being consumed by our irrational fears. irrational fear, in turn, is a terrifying thing. it has the ability to cripple, paralyze and rob away hopes and dreams.

just as God created suffering so that we would draw closer to Him, insecurities also have the effect of drawing people closer to each other. your insecurities show the other party that you care, that you love them and how important they are to you. insecurities let the other party know that you are not taking them for granted. insecurities are not all bad, but they have the potential to cause a great deal of pain and misery.

once we doubt, everything else falls apart. the key to preventing insecurities from overtaking ourselves is to have faith! it may be easier said than done but loving someone means to trust them wholeheartedly, even if at times it may seem impossible or futile. trust is the cornerstone of all relationships, not just romantic ones. our relationship with God is a perfect example of trust.

okay. why do i feel like i am writing a self-help book on relationships. this is quite amusing actually. i call this "the-silly-girl-trying-to-pass-off-as-some-relationship-guru"post. HAHA! but i'm still going to post it and archive it so that i can look back on it next time with my future husband and laugh at myself. LOL =D
