Are there any trophies for a perfect relationship?

Are there any trophies for a perfect relationship?


Well, I do not know. 


And my initial response to your question was “No.”


No, there are no trophies for a perfect relationship.


No awards for the cute couple and no prizes and no certificates for being there as a friend when everyone who professed their love for you vanished into thin air.


But then I thought, why am I thinking of certificates, medals, and prizes. None one loves someone just to gain something.


Why am I thinking of worldly things?


Being in a relationship with someone is more of an emotional feeling, the feeling of being loved, cared and adored. The feelings that give you nothing but just a content smile on your face and a strange but familiar feeling of being loved. 


Trophies in relationships you say? I guess yes, there are trophies in love, in friendship and in every possible relationship on the face of the earth.


But these are not the normal, physical trophies made up of gold and other metals. No, no, these are the trophies that adorn your own personal wall of relationships; inside your mind. 


Now I have spent about an hour thinking of all my relationships. Relationships that can be called friendship, love, hate, and the like. Yes, I did look at my relationship with my enemies.


Although I have none right now, then there was a time I was a crazy head and had a really bad temper.


And then I started to see all the trophies, trophies of my relationship with various people, over the years.


I went into a pensive mood, and I could see the innocent thank yous I got from friends, the chocolates that I got from my siblings and the little pecks on my cheeks by my tiny niece and nephews. 


The numerous times when my friends forgave me despite me acting like a jerk, the moments of love, care and happiness. 


I could see it all, my trophies, the trophies of my relationship with many many people. You get the gist, don’t you? 


Yes, there are trophies in relationships.


Things that remind us of the good times, the bad time and the frustrating moments that almost burnt, killed and buried our relationships. 


But then there was something that kept us from ruining everything, forgiveness I guess or love or was it just some cute little trophy that made you forgive it all.
