14 years of friendship. We have been dragged through the mud, cried, laughed, fought, and had long talks together. We have our lives to take of, but we always have the time for each other and talked like there is no tomorrow.  Others would try to tears apart, but we managed to get through any barriers to not let the friendship go down the drain. 

My fiance, Scott who has been there for me when I was almost homeless and helped me through the hardships of life. We have always kept an open communication between us so we understood each other. We have argued, laughed, and had deep conversations about life itself. He can completely drive me insane, but he is my better half when I am at my worse. I honestly wouldn't where I would be if it wasn't for him.

Relationships are not just built overnight. It takes time and a strong foundation to make sure any relationship work, whether it is with a significant other, friends, parents, clients, or families. According to Alva Deluna, one has to understand oneself before opening up to someone and having a relationship with an openness. When all your bias is set aside and have an open mind about the individual, the relationship will be positive and the individuals are more comfortable with you. 

Trust is a key in any relation and do not need to convince anyone to prove it. If there is need to prove it then believe me there was nothing in your relation.
