Talks of Fury, Passion, Shame.

Having 'the talk' is the most frustrating, nerve-wracking and stressful moment of most people's relationships. Even I find myself cowering at the prospect of asking those questions that I'm dying to know. The simple ones, that most often you already know the answers to. If you expect their reply to be good; you ask because you need that confirmation which will propel your relationship further. Conversely, if you assume the worst; you ask them in the hope that bringing up feelings and emotions may change the object of your affection's mind.
We've all had those talks, and there is no doubt that a times, the replied we've been looking for aren't the ones we may have wished for. So here-in lies the problem of when to let go.
As of late, I've had a fair few friends talk to me about their relationship problems ( so much so that sometimes, I think I should just become a relationship councilor so I can get paid for my 'services' ).
Anyhow, it seems that as well as myself there are other people out there who find it difficult to lay down the lines in a relationship and it's really got me thinking, that if you're not comfortable enough to ask the person you're with these kinds of questions then maybe you're not fully ready to be in a relationship.
I think the most important things a couple needs to posses in order to function really well and for both people to get the most out of their relationship is the ability to be open with each other; to talk (which admittedly is something I'm aware of lacking in my own personal life) and to realise that as well as spending time together, that each person needs their own space.

I truly feel as though that's the greatest thing you can give to someone you care about.

(well, maybe there are some more enjoyable things)

But for now, lets live in the land of innocence shall we?...ishax
