Companionship with an i

Today’s blog not only comes as an inspiration but also as a motivation from my loved one. I chose to write on something that I feel is near to my heart at this moment.

When you look for a companion, what do you look for? A person with certain permutations and combinations? A person to whom you can relate to? Or a person in whom you can see your own reflection? While you look for a person who exists in different form than you, why do you start losing your identity to him/her? The words that we often use and say, that a person who makes us feel complete and looks like a perfect companion, are more to be meant by living the differences together and not just making similarities work for. What we often forget is that we start losing our identity to our own loved ones who had selected us for the person we were. Every relation demands adjustments but never start compromising giving it a name of adjustment. A simple way to understand the difference between the two would be that you would often experience negative feelings while compromising for things, but you would often lead positive attitude while adjusting.

You should value your relation enough to learn to adjust as it only increases your stamina and opens up scope of personal growth. Having been said that value yourself enough that you live with confidence and have the stamina to fight negatives of a relationship smartly and not blindly.
