The reminder to continue to blog about love, life, and the personal pursuit to reflect on moments in time that needed a little more self-expression, introspective reviews, and simple a rapid written response and publish immediately!
So within a year of time, there is so much to reflect on, remember, and remind me as to the continued growth and pursuit of a loving experience. In the confusing time of supposed love I thought I knew it all, and to now finally getting a piece of that divine pie I am reminded daily love is a consistent place of communication, compassion, active work, and moments of introspection. Two individuals not on the same shared life path, but journeying together and finding comfort and ease in one another's world. One of the hardest things in the world is to share your existence with another, preferably an adult, and to continue to balance a shared path while maintaining your individual journey. How can that be possible and so you ask?
Every day I learn the value of shared time and then the seconds, minutes, and hours I have to myself. To work through, adjust, and validate. I make time for self-care, teaching Soul Yoga, and also, maintaining my professional schedule and time. Being involved doesn't exclude the life you held before, in fact, there will be times in a long-term relationship where you're grateful for your independence and ability to have a life outside of your partner. There will be times when the day's stressors and pressure are too intense, and you both will need to recharge, and regroup, and it's within this unique time that you continue to explore and discover what validates you.
The fairytales and romanticizing of the perfect relationship is what gets us in trouble, There will be shared ups and downs ad individual issues experienced and mutually shared and expressed. There will be a time when things are turning into the most difficult life puzzle and you will need your individual time to reorganize and get it together, but all is well as long as it's expressed openly, honestly, and with respect and love for your partner honoring their words, experience and what they were feeling and going through at that time. The ability to maintain your cool and commitment to self and the learning experience and growth within your relationship.
I have opened my mind and heart to learning about the path shared between two but traveled by one.
Welcome back!
