Ever wonder what it would feel like to be in a perfect relationship? I thought that’s what I had but I was in for a rude awaking when we started our life together in Atlanta. It has been more tears than anything else. It's hard to explain the heartache that has been endured since the move to Atlanta but I’m going to pour my heart out and just maybe someone can relate or understand.
When we first started talking it seem like we went together like peanut butter and jelly, but then again at the beginning of all relationships it feels that way. You just feel what’s on the surfs at first but when you start digging deep you realize that you are not on the same page at all. Their nagging becomes your headache and your shortcomings become their reason to leave you where you stand. Now I’m not the one to give up, so naturally I submerge myself in what my partner needs from me. If it’s not hurting me then why not make changes to better each other as a whole? The thing I had to learn was the other person has to be willing to work with you just as much as you’re willing to work with them. It’s not always a 50/50 thing. Sometimes it’s a 70/30 thing someone has to be willing to give a little more so in the end you will balance each other out. I’m not married so obviously I have not mastered this relationship thing but every day is a new chance to turn things around.
I heard the words my soul needed yesterday. A stranger came up to me and asked me was I in need of prayer. Now normally I would have given a quick no or brushed him off but something in my sprit was telling me to just listen. “You achieve more by patience than by force.” Those simple words put me in a whole new frame of mind…
To be continued…
