Love Takes No Prisoners.

A lot of time has passed since I have written something personal.  Something I have been thinking about lately is how difficult it is to accept change when you are in a relationship.  As a person who has lots of pride in who I am today (and how I have gotten myself from A to B and back)...its almost painful to change it for the sake of being in a relationship.  Mind you, I love my relationship, but it almost feels as if I don't love myself as much as I used to. Like I don't know who I am changing into next, because its not all up to me anymore.  I mean, it is, but when in a relationship, if you want it to work, you cant just do what you want...you have to be considerate.  Being considerate means being able to compromise.

That has to be the most profound 3 syllable word ever.  It sounds so good in theory, but it can be such a jagged little pill.  I know that I live in my head and I often get in my own way, but I know that this will never get easier.  Love, regardless of what you think you know about it, is not meant to be easy. It is always a work in progress, and it needs lots of attention.  Love takes no prisoners.

I am in a very weird place right now.
