Hang, man!

Relationships are simple - whether based on Love, Friendship, Family...


All relationships are like two people holding a piece of rope at each end.
Sometimes the rope becomes longer, that's when the distance between them is greater.
They are far apart, but they're still together... holding on to the rope.
The rope is the bond.

Sometimes the rope becomes short, and they come closer. That is when there is very little or no distance between the two. They are together, close - united.

The important thing is that two people in a relatonship keep holding on to the rope - whether it is long or short... if one of them drops their end of the rope the relationship ends. So, hold on to your ends when you are far apart... and hold on to each other when you are close together.
