The journey to thos blog post was very... complicated. I have spent a lot of time questioning if the blog should continue, as it seems whatever I post is quickly challenged in my life. However, this particular post can definitely be challenged... so more power to the opposition.
The first part is not great to challenge. I believe that there are three parts to a relationship ... I think a relationship should make you love the person you care for in a relationship. I've always said that romance is finding ways to make the other person smile. I believe a romance should make you love yourself. If you are not in a relationship that does that, you are not in a healthy relationship. Finally, a relationship should make you love the unity of your love and yourself. That is a separate thing from your lover and yourself. It is a new creation made by mutual pledge of love and care.
However, there are challenges to all three. Some will try to get you to not love your relationship partner. That can be others or doubts. There are some that will try to convince you to not love yourself. They (or thoughts) are not your friends or your friendly energies. And, there are many that would have you doubt that unity.. again.. others or doubts and fears and past. In toxic situations, those doubts can be useful. In healthy situations, they can be toxic.
So, the point of this blog is simply to say this... choose love. Don't listen to others not motivated by love. Be happy. Disappoint those who'd rather you be miserable with them. The world needs more positive examples to inspire hope.
