Spending time with loved ones.
We are surrounded by people all the time but there are the rare few that stand out the most, these are the one's we spend some of our free time with. They can be within your family, your boyfriend or your best friend. Spending time with someone gives you the opportunity to learn about them, not just the basics but in more detail. It helps you learn to care about someone and having it reciprocated. The person I spend most of my time was with my best friend Kimberly. We meet in Junior High School and we were inseparable, funny thing was she didn't even attend my Junior High School we just happen to take the same route. Kimberly was the total opposite of me, if I said white she would say black and we learned to compromise with each other and come out with something like gray. Spending time with Kimberly wasn't always easy because she had different taste in everything but this is what made our bond stronger, she learned something from my side and vis a versa. The more I spend time with her the more we became closer.
Gratitude
Gratitude is something a lot of people take for granted but it can be so simple to do. A lot of people don't realize that someone can be here one day and the next there gone. A gratitude letter can seem some what pointless sometimes, but when you look back and say to yourself " Did I ever thank that person for everything they did for me? " you would want your answer to be YES!. Not everyone has the personality to say Thank You, but writing a letter can show you value someones, and are willing to make an extra step for them to realize it.
Cultivating Vs. Finding
Cultivating over finding can vary from person to person. For me personally cultivating a relationship is better then finding one. When you cultivate something as a relationship it shows you the good and the bad. How happy you or how bad the relationship can get and you as an individual decide if this is something you can accept in you life in the daily bases. Cultivating can bring you two closer by sharing the same interest, foods, qualities and making the bond stronger. Some people take there time in there relationship before they get married, others find a person they think is the ideal person. For example my friend Luz thought she had found the ideal person, had a baby with this man and a year later she realized he showed her what she wanted to see. With time people build a bond that they are content in and make the effort to keep it like that, instead of finding what they thought was the right one and finding out later it isn't what seemed.
