Quote
We are conditioned to believe love is a feeling, usually the feeling that we ""get"" from the other person.
Relationships are actually spaces to evolve, to grow, to learn to meet the parts of ourselves that we abandoned years ago.
So many people look for relationships as an escape from themselves. To numb the pain, to be rescued from life as they know it.
This unrealistic expectation will always lead to disappointment, because this was never the role of a partner.
True commitment to another person involves a commitment to yourself. To unlearn toxic patterns, to learn how to communicate, to learn how to ask for your needs to be met.
This won't always feel good. We won't always be “happy"" with our partners.
Relationships take work. Especially if you haven’t witnessed a healthy, open, emotionally connected relationship in childhood.
A partner is a mirror: showing you what needs healing.— Yung Pueblo
