The theme of "compromise" appeared multiple times during these last couple of weeks. People say that it takes a full jar of love to compromise and if "that" person is very important to you, what is important to "that" person becomes important to YOU. But how can you predominately assume that will be the case in all relationships. If this is true, can we really love those that do not share common interests? Attraction comes in different forms: ethos, wholeness, similarities and differences. Why do we say we miss someone, if we didn't truly believe that person is the missing piece to feel whole again.
Think about it, if your relationship is based on compromising aka "give and take", a set of expectations will always linger at the back of your mind. When there is expectations- there is disappointments and continuous disappointments leads to failure. So what about a few sprinkles of mistakes, we're human? Even with the most forgiving heart, deep within is a drop of discontent. It's human to feel hurt, and who likes that feeling? It's being self aware when someone starts to tick you off, so do something about it. Disappointment also invite reasons for change and improvement. & please do not tell me, you refuse to change... refusal to change when you're dissatisfied is like asking to be slapped.
A person should be able to value their companion or partner for who they are; and who they are comes in a full package of their greatest virtues and vices, their perfections and flaws, their body and heart... Appreciate one another for that is the reason that attracts you to each other. Learn and grow with each other. Even if it takes a lifetime, don't give up on the ideology that love exists, and your special someone is awaiting. It's always mega cuteness overload when I see elderly couples go on dates. That is the kinda love we all desire.
In summary, you value something for a reason and you shouldn't have to change it just because there's disapproval.
You, Do You and be proud of it.
(humortip: Just do a SWOT analysis when dating, it works for business partnerships!)
Quote of the day:
“Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.”

Be humble in all the things you do and reap the fruits that follow. <3
