On The Subject Of Relationships
Every relationship we are in, no matter how short, has a reason. The reason we are in that relationship is the motivation for the way we act in that relationship.
Does that person, or group make us happy? Does it make our lives more full? Is it a person we just happened across and we don't really like them? Or is it a person that conjures in us a romantic notion?
Understanding why we are in a relationship, past the superficial reasons and down to the emotional motivations within us, can help us identify our role in that relationship. More importantly, it can help us decide what we can add to the relationship and what our boundaries should be.
Healthy boundaries and focusing on what you can add to a relationship, not just what you get out of it, are difficult things to balance. But understanding our motivations for being in a relationship can help.
