Topic: Tying Ourselves To Another Person

Tying ourselves to one another in love requires maturity. Maturity in relationships requires selflessness, patience, strength, and independence. Maturity in relationships requires giving with no expectation of receiving anything in return. Patience in relationships requires being able to stand by someone when they need you, when they make foolish mistakes, when they fall down, when they turn against you, or when they take forever to mature themselves. Strength in a relationship requires you be unmoving when things go bad. Strength in a relationship requires you maintain your present path with someone without the other person ever feeding you or maintaining you. Independence in a relationship means you can stand on your own without depending upon another person to feed you, maintain you, keep you whole, define who you are, and determine for you how you think or feel.
