Everything looks beautiful from afar!
Oh, so appealing and attractive all that which we are seeing from a disconnected point of view.
When we are not involved nor invested, we appreciate things differently, we think what we see is wonderful, truth is, the closer we get the clearer our vision that nothing is as perfect and that the image that we hold in our heart is totally the opposite of what we were expecting.
When we think of the ocean, we think of warm, sunny loving days when we are being cuddled by the cool breeze and we are surrounded by music, people that we care for, we are getting away from our daily tasks. Space and relaxation, indulge in beauty and adventure.
Even though we prefer to dive in and lose ourselves in the depth and mysteries of this wild, deep, dark water it is pretty scary at times, it is dangerous, there are many creatures that can harm us there, yet we still have this amazing feeling connected with it.
We so look forward to having fun and get together with friends and family members because we have this innate sense of freedom, humor, support, fondness, intimacy and being part of a tribe, we love to feel needed at the same it is nice to feel at home.
On the other side, all those who make us feel good about ourselves that help us evolve or empower us emotionally and more, they can also destroy us, hurt us, abandon us, make us feel worthless, they can turn into our biggest mistakes, enemies and they can cause us to slip into toxic self-sabotaging behaviors.
What about romantic relationships, how much we wish to be part of one, how much we pursue them, how much time we spend in thinking of creating, fixing, experimenting, experiencing, being happy?
We constantly work towards being loved and sharing, we value and devalue the whole process all at once, no matter what are our intentions and what we desire to achieve, we want to accomplish those things because in the back of our mind we desire to be in the company with another, we want fondness and companionships just like the oxygen we breathe in, we desire to be with our partner and together we believe we can conquer the world, we fantasize about the benefits, lovemaking, snuggling, and laughter.
Ironically, the most important inner places within ourselves love merging and engaging and we dream about it every single moment, how does it feel like to be happy and alive, to be appreciated and to relax in joyful moments?
Thus, we overlook the fact that relationships are like waves that come in stages, like the watch that goes up and down in a daily 24 hour, like the Sun that no matter how much vitamin D we need, to much can burn us, like the Moon that no matter how awesome and shiny she looks like, she is never the same, she changes in a cycle of 30 days, yet she is pretty but cold and moody.
With all that being said, relationships are necessary, are the salt and pepper in our lives but they require patience and discipline, riding with the wind, we have to overcome every obstacle, every trigger.
Relationships are very significant, but they are not smooth, and not all is always well, actually, they are pretty strange and we are unique in our ways so, the more we enter inside the more frightening it becomes.
However, when we learn how to walk, run, swim, fly if possible and communicate well, it will not matter if we are alone or with someone else as we will know how to navigate through, everything will fall into place freely and genuinely, although we have to be prepared for the challenge.
Not everything is as good as it seems, although in that still lies the essence of living.
