I find that as I get older I'm realizing that our romances are just a microcosm of how we go through life. While society often tells us romance is trival in the grand scheme of LIFE, it's actually just the same! Freedom vs boundaries, passion vs dedication, values vs actions - our relationships mirror how we are with the world, our finances, our jobs, our interests.
Balancing security and freedom is important in so many aspects of life, but I’d never really thought about how it applies to relationships, too.
