This is a topic that I have yet to discuss and it is long overdue...
Many of us approach romantic relationships with the intention of "finding the one" rather than allowing ourselves to recognize our significant other when they come into our lives. Let's think for just a moment about friendships: How many times do you think you've missed out on making a valuable, long-lasting friendship simply because you were unaware? Probably more than you think. And it is most likely the same for romantic relationships.
Now, another factor to consider is the idea that society puts unrealistic expectations for relationships into our minds. They portray relationships as being "unicorns and rainbows." Which, maybe for the first 6 months to a year, that is how it feels. But after reality sets in, that is simply not the truth. Each relationship will have its challenges. You have your own and so does your partner. Together you bring a dynamic to the table that no two other people will. And that is okay. This is all perfectly normal. In many cases when challenges present themselves, we (the collective) try to impose our logic upon situations to "solve the problem" when in actuality, how is that you can "solve" an irrational force with rational thinking? You simply can't. It's like trying to put gas in a car that is solar powered. Different systems take different solutions.
Love is about being. Love is about surrendering your ego for the greater good of your relationship. And when issues arise in your love life, you can take as much action as you want, but in the end you usually end up just having to ride out wave and be with it.
Much love and light.
