Relationships are interesting things… they exist to cultivate how we relate to others and perhaps even more so how we relate to ourselves. I think once we unravel who we are, we can become constant in every part of our lives, in all of our relationships. It’s not to say that we can’t relax more with friends or lovers, or be more formal with our employers or in a professional setting, yet still maintaining a constant in regard to the core of who we are.

I would like to think that we treat our loved ones (which include those with whom we would have romantic relationships) differently because we cherish them; not out of fear or obligation, but because seeing another’s joy makes our soul soar and shine.

I know this is perhaps not the most common demeanor, but it certainly is what I aspire to. :^) And let me add that it has taken a very long time (and many relationships) to reach this point of… surrender.

Namasté,
Adriane
