Wants, Desires and needs
I've been reflecting lately about past relationships not because I want to re-establish old connections that I left behind but to think about how I could have said or done things differently. This took a lot of deep soul searching to figure out what I'd want in a relationship especially a romantic one. What I would like in a relationship as I'm sure anyone else would too, is to have honesty, trust, respect and open communication but not limited to only these things. These serve as a foundation to build upon. People don't have time for games , time is too precious, nor do they have time for someone to emotionally mature, nor lack of effort or reciprocal exchange of feelings and emotions. If someone wants to be in a romantic relationship, the other person must be willing and be intentional at exhibiting these foundational things. Otherwise, what would be the point of wanting or being in that type of relationship. Emotions and feelings should never be played or toyed with because you never know, you just might get burned by the hell fire that is unleashed. My stance is this, if you want a romantic relationship then do it the right way otherwise stop wasting people's time and stop playing childish mental and emotional games. Anyone in a relationship should feel safe and comfortable to be themselves with the other person rather than minimizing themselves so that you don’t upset the other person. Everyone has wants, needs and desires that need to be met and this is the point of being in a relationship to be vulnerable with each other and to fulfill the other persons desires and needs. I don’t want to be taken out of context when I say , “fulfill the other persons desires and needs”, what I mean is that both partners have wants, desires and needs and in that partnership each partner should try to fulfill their needs within the boundaries they have set.
