You know how sometimes you hear lyrics that just fit a situation you’ve been in? Yeah. I can’t say they fit the way I feel currently, but (and this is the bluntest i’ve ever been on the subject) the end of a relationship isn’t always about the love or the feelings not being there anymore. Sometimes, I guess, it’s about personal development. Selfish? Yes. But isn’t that the whole point of a relationship? To grow in ways you couldn’t do alone?
A relationship should complement you, not replace you.
When it comes to the point where your goals/dreams/whatevers are being blocked by the relationship, maybe it’s time to leave. I’m not saying it’s bound to happen, nor am I saying that your aspirations can’t be changed *by* a relationship (and invariably, they are), but if something meant to make you a better and more complete person leaves you feeling miserable and incomplete, how can you justify continuing it?
So that’s what a relationship means then? It should make you a more complete version of yourself. If only I had a clue what that meant…
