Earlier today I was working on an investigation where I have to read different newspaper articles that have to do with psychology. The point is that I was reading an article called The Psychology of Love and it talked about some things that we tend to forget when we are involved in a relationship.
One of the things it said, and that I wish to ponder upon in this post, is that we tend to refer to ourselves and our partner as one. I will not say this isn't true because I have found myself doing so. I will admit that I like the idea of being one in the same with my partner but there is something to this that we should be careful with.
What is it? Well, we tend to forget ourselves in our relationships and forget that we were once someone. We should keep in mind that we have our own identity and that precisely for that is why our partner fell for us in the first place. We shouldn't change for no one because in the end, sadly, things aren't permanent and we can't become dependant on our partners. Not only that but, we should always remember what our goals and values are. We aren't someone because of something or somebody else.
We should always shine with our own light, and we should always stand out for ourselves. When we fail to do this we lose ourselves in ideals and fantasies and forget who we are, why and who we love and what is it that made the relationship be.
