Relationships are like getting a new car. This is kind of an odd statement to grab your attention. This is one of my weird analogies / insight.

Relationships are very much like getting a new car. When you first get it you are crazy about it, taking care of it regularly ( washing, cleaning, maintenance, etc..), every time you look at it you get a big smile on your face, you make up reasons to take it places, brag about all the neat features it has to all your friends.

The fact is at some point it becomes just your transportation, you dont think twice about it when you get in it to drive it to work, or before tossing all your garbage in the back seat. Not washing it, changing the oil anymore, and the effect of that is the car deteriorates, and as the car deteriorates you think even less of it, which just starts the whole cycle over again. The more you want to get a new car, all because you have just become too used to the car.

Now take into consideration someone with a hot rod, or import or whatever. You may not like these cars but you have to give them some appreciation. The owners have invested a lot of time in these cars, by continuously spicing it up and adding to it the keep their interest peeked, and it is still just as exciting to them, they take care of it, it takes care of them. If only we could do the same. We are so quick to get bored and move on to the next big thing without appreciating what we have.

I think that if people would invest more into having fun in their relationships they wouldnt get so bored. You become boring, they are bored with you, they therefore become boring. Being in a relationship is all about challenging each other as people, bringing out qualities in each other that, they never knew were there, experiencing things they would have never tried on their own. So when your significant other becomes boring take the initiative to get them trying new things, keep it spontaneous and they will respond, try things they like to do.

I think one of humanitys biggest problems is we are selfish and so close minded, we are so dead set in our ways that we wont even here other people out. You dont need to take on someones opinion because you listened to it. The more opinions that you hear the easier it is for you to formulate your own. Try to experience everything you can, learn from it thats how we progress as people.
