Never become so infatuated with another that you forget to invest in yourself.
Intense passions coupled with self-ignorance is what makes for an infatuation and not a long-lasting relation.
Don’t you see it?
We are each one leg in any relationship.
You grow, you take a step.
I grow, I take a step.
This is how we move the relationship forward.
When one person does all the growing, the same leg steps over and over, pivoting on the other, turning the relationship in circles. Leading to circular conversations, circular days, circular experiences…
But, when both people do their own individual part… and they keep contributing back to the relationship regularly… the couple gets into a rhythm… and that rhythm is what leads to progress… which leads to a renewed motivation… which leads to longevity.
As contradictory as it might feel when you’re infatuated and completely obsessed with somebody in your life… learn how to give them distance… learn how to invest some of that excessive passionate energy back into yourself… learn how to come back to your person each time, ready to take the next step.
