Relationships

I want to talk about relationships today. It is always a eerie thing to talk about. Because it is abstract, sublime, volatile, and gravely dependant on one's perspective. One can have different thoughts about relationships every single day. The truth is that we all want different things from a relationship. But change is constant and we all are changing and with us, our needs are changing. That is why sometimes it gets difficult to get the right perspective on relationships. The things I value most in a relationship are conversations. But see how I stated "Things I value"- we all live for ourselves at the end of the day. Yes we sacrifice, compromise but somewhere deep down we all hold ourselves dear, more than anyone else. It is hard to accept because we live in a world where sacrifice is considered a supreme virtue and living for others is venerated. But is it really living for others or is it just another act to help you find purpose, add meaning to your life, enrich it. I believe everyone lives for themselves, I know it sounds harsh but it is better to accept this truth and move ahead. Embrace it and establish a symbiotic relationship- which most successful relationships are.
