Being in love doesn’t mean you have to loose yourself in love. You should not allow yourself fade just because you are in love. Similarly, you loose yourself and are barely recognized if you love them more than yourself. Before you can love your partner, you need to love yourself more. Relationship is all about understanding your likes, dislikes, dreams, and everything that makes you, well, you.
Let’s consider this, see yourself as a tree with roots, a trunk, branches, leaves and fruits. You as a sibgle entity is your roots and trunk, firm and strong. Your relationship life is like the branches and leaves that grow from you. The more you love yourself and learn to love your partner, it adds beauty and complexity to your life and relationship. Similarly, it only helps to define your essence in life and in their life too. Remember, a tree needs its roots to stay grounded.
Moving on, let’s discuss how you can stay true to yourself while sharing your heart and time with someone special.
For a healthy relationship, all that is needed is communication. Communication is not always about chatting on virtual platforms to discuss your day and how good life is. Sometimes also it’s about sharing your thoughts on what matters to you, your personal goals, and your boundaries. Think of it as painting a picture of yourself for your partner, make sure they understand and appreciate your true colours.It is also important to listen to your partner just as you share with them your worries and joy, listen to theirs. When your partner speaks their heart, it’s your up to you to understand and respect their chices and deisions too.
Boundaries help keep everything in perspective and protected. Let them know where to start and end, where to go and can’t go, what to do and can’t do. Remember those activities you loved before you became a ‘we’? Keep them alive! Never let them stop you from being you and doing what you love. These activities are not just hobbies; they’re expressions of your soul. They’re what make you feel alive and sparkling with your unique energy.

A beautiful part of being in a relationship is having your own space and private life as well. You must also give that same space and privacy to your partner. Encourage your partner to chase their dreams, just as they would want you to. Celebrate each other’s victories, no matter how small, and offer a shoulder when there are setbacks. Importantly don’t forget to create memories together. Find activities that both of you enjoy, or take turns introducing each other to your worlds. These shared experiences knit your lives together, adding another layer to your relationship without overshadowing your individual selves.
Alone time is not just about being physically apart; it’s about giving each other space to grow. Think of it as tending to your own garden so that when you come together, you have more to share, making your relationship even richer. Maintaining your individuality while in a relationship is about walking the tightrope between being your own person and being part of a duo. It’s a dance of balance, communication, and mutual respect.
