In life we always search for something to make us happy or smile or comfort. We always search for an element or a goal to make us inspired, to make us strong, to make us believe. Human nature is always looking for more tools to avoid the pain, and increase happiness. We need to understand that finding the right balance is different for each person. You need to start by thinking what do you really need, how can you achieve it, and what's the best way to manage your dreams till it become true.
Today’s story is for Pamela and Sam. She was a reception in a hotel and he was driving for a holiday to a small town name Costa Brava, near Barcelona, Spain. They walked on the beach, they talked for three days, then he went back home to UK. He keep coming back to see her every weekend, then he sent her the ring, asking her hand in marriage. It was a big decision for him, but he wanted to move out of UK, as he loved the sun in Spain. She was divorced, she was lonely, she fall in love with his beautiful eyes behind his glasses. She thought, his kind, he's smart, he's different from her violent father. She thought they can build a future with each other, and they could have happy family. Life is full of surprises, he was not ready to maintain a family, emotionally, economically, but he thought she has a flat in her home country Egypt. And eventually, they can move to a warm country, so that's a reason for him to decide marrying her. They started a small business in Barcelona, sagrada -Familia. Fruit juice and pancake shop. She managed to teach him how to make the pancakes. They have designed the menu. She got pregnant with her first child, he tried to learn Spanish, to communicate with the customers. In the meantime, she was taking him to workshops of fixing cars because that's his job. he was a car technician, he couldn't master the language, and the shop was not making great money, but she thought that love is enough. If you love someone, you can look to the future with a positive thinking. One night a thief came to the shop, and try to steal what he can, he ran after the thief, broke the glass window of the shop. They couldn't open for customer anymore as he couldn't repair the glass, he felt worry for her and their first child. So he decided to leave Barcelona to UK. As he can work in fixing cars, they drove back their car from Barcelona to France. Took the boat which landed in UK. The way they did that is by his mom came and helped them moving back to UK. Sadly the mom did not like her, she said in the first night, that**** took my son away from me It was too hard for her, as a woman with a child to hear that sentence. It kind of build a wall, between her and her mother-in-law. They went to visit the father, stayed in his home for couple of weeks. Till the husband find a job, then move to a small studio flat. She still believed that love is enough to solve all problems. She got pregnant with her second child, so he had his handful of responsibilities. He was not ready for all that pressure, he started car technician job. They start to move one step at the time to build their life. There was always economic pressure, between what they need, what they have, and what they can achieve. She became fulltime mum, he was responsible of looking after them.
 After 20 years, the love faded away, and only the pain remains, he never really loved her, just wanted to live in Spain. She can see that he's not the man to hold her hand in her old days. She tried her best, for years to help him, but she failed. She could not make him love her, or respect her, and they went separate ways. It was very nice love story, but it died in the end. You cannot really have the right balance, between what you have, what you need, and what you can achieve. You can be ambition, but you cannot always be successful. They do not talk to each other anymore. Understand that love is not always enough to build a house specially if it's one sided.
