Embrace Change

Perfection is an illusion. There's simply no such thing. The closest we have is turning an imperfect situation into one that works for us. Perfection is often sought in relationships...we all look for that "perfect" person to share our life with. The problem that most people don't realize is that what they consider perfect one day may not be the same thing on another day. People change every single day. Situations change you. Environments change you. Life changes you.

This fact gets overlooked so often. If these changes aren't accounted for, the day will come when your loved one starts comparing the way you are to the way you "used to be." No matter what, you can never compete with who you used to be. You can never go back to that person you were before life changed you. The options from this point are limited. Your loved one either cares enough for you to accept you as you are currently, or they can't and long for who you were. If you are not accepted as you are then the relationship eventually fizzles and succumbs to the fact that all things eventually end. A tragedy in the making, for sure.

We can't prevent change so instead, let's learn how to embrace it.
