Barren. Webster defines barren as not producing or incapable of producing offsprings, which is usually a term coined for women unable to have children. However, barren is a word that can be used to describe relationships also. Barren relationships are the ones that we get into hoping for the best, wishing for the best, expecting to grow and to build. We jump into these relationships expecting so much; happiness, joy, love, support, fun, peace, growth, but occasionally our expectations is high and our labor yields no crop. You put in all the effort to make it grow., you plant the seeds, water it, provide the necessary sunshine, cultivate it and yet no matter how hard you try, the flower buds seem to be elusive. We just can't get it to take root.
