Sometimes Relationships Start Drifting

Oct 16, 2023 | relationship | 1 comment

No one gets into a relationship for it to break, and yet there are times when we may find ourselves drifting away from people whom we were once very close to. Like two boats in a sea that once moved in tandem, over time we find ourselves steering different courses by the currents of life and emotions. Reflecting on these currents that come into our lives may not change things but will definitely give us a better understanding and acceptance of why things have reached where they have.

Sometimes we just start losing the feeling we once had, either triggered by something said or done. Even as we try, the current of missing something and tending to ourselves which we may have well neglected for long, steers us in a different direction where we seem happier.

Over time we find that the relationship is not what it used to be, either we have changed or the other person has. And as these changes become clear preferences, we find ourselves moving on with life and changing course.

At some point the strong undercurrents of ambition and deep interest grip us and we find ourselves navigating a different path. It is not that we have any problems, but when we look back, we find that we may have come so far out and away that it seems others have drifted away from our life.

It is not just people with problems and misunderstandings, but sometimes two perfectly seemingly happy people drift when expectations are not met and there is a silent undercurrent of distancing oneself.

We live in an ocean of emotions, feelings, and relationships. Much as we try, we may well find these currents entering our life and taking us away. It is then we need to remind ourselves that no matter how much someone has drifted, and no matter how we feel, it is only the current of love that will help turn the tide.
