People and labels

Tweet

Going through life I've realized some things. One is that labels are not necessary except basically to ease one's mind. And the second is that labels are not necessary for the relationship - whatever it may be - to continue! So why use them? For example everyone I know uses the term "best" friend. That is a sure way to hurt feelings you know? I have a friend or another that I talk to more often or I contribute more feelings with but perhaps I shouldn't call him or her my "best" friend. Its a friendship that is deep and that will continue without any label I or any one else wishes to add. Something else I have noticed is that with romantic relationships if this is done in a relationship too soon or even too - late! This can be trouble! One has an ideal in mind to make the "label" higher or lower than their significant other has in mind and the whole thing will blow up just because of a word! How silly!! If I ever have a relationship I wish not to label it this way. I want it to just continue and develop naturally and it will be great to have that relationship whatever it may be, for as long as it will be, without the stress of naming it. **Ah, sigh of relief**
