Does the person in your life compliment you? Are they a true representation of who you are and what you love for? One person may look at your relationship and not understand the connection, but see the love. Another may not see the love, but understand why you are together. I believe when it comes to choosing partners, lovers, wives, etc. you should be able to compliment each other, not just physically, but spiritually as well. Whomever you decide to lock it down with, that person represents a part of you. Look at the person you love, the person you are married to, or the person you are dating. Yes, that's how you feel inside. So, are you a compliment or an insult?
Would you want someone to tell you you're the best, even when you are not? Or would you want to be accepted and loved just as you are, flaws and all? When you compliment someone you are also complimenting yourself, you are acknowledging yourself in them. There is no way you can be in a relationship with someone and not see parts of yourself, whether you like those parts or not, that person you have chosen represents a part of who you are. If someone is acknowledging that you are not the best or the most intelligent, they are also acknowledging that in themselves. If someone is loving you, accepting you, and giving you all they got, it's because they have that love within themselves to give. You cannot see (yourself) something in someone else and not acknowledge it in yourself.
Make me believe that I am exceptional from the rest, or make me feel special and not just someone you can get because you can not get anyone else. What people fail to understand is love does not require you to lie to make the other person feel better about themselves. Love does not require you to validate the unstable actions and mental state of someone who is truly incapable of maintaining a healthy relationship, because now you're married. One of the sweetest things about love is you do not have to be too much of anything to receive it. You do not have to be the best at anything. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be able to share and reciprocate and be the yang to my yin.
Are you brave enough to love who you love? Does the man or woman in your life compliment you? People often say that life is short and time waits on no one, but there are millions of people living in relationships that they regret, being misrepresented by the person they love. They won't even walk down the street and hold your hand, because they have made up their mind that you do not represent them. Make sure you are with someone who truly represents who you are and who can love all sides of you. You do not want someone who will just compliment you behind closed doors.
Peace & Love
