What’s Important About Love?

Human beings are complex beings. We are born with the inability to assist ourselves, though on our life journey, develop the essential tools and skills for success. Love is a subject I am extremely passionate about. As a Capricorn, we’re told we are one of the most unaffectionate signs of the zodiac, however, I’m here to tell you that’s not true. Using my former relationship as an example, I discuss the foundation of love that is most important for joint growth in a partnership with me.

Stability

One of the most important goals to seek in a relationship is stability. At the age of 28, I’ve reached that point in my life where I want a stable connection with my partner as well as stability with my job, finances and everything that brings meaning to me. Stability to me means that when I am knocked down, I am supported in making every effort to get back up again.

The photo of the rock shows a tremendous love for the association between stability and balance. The only way the rocks can fall down is if a force tears the balance apart, creating pandamonium, a toxic trait I will recognize and leave in the past. In my future, there’s only room for hope.

Love

Without love in a relationship, what is a relationship? How could you partner up with someone you don’t love but only to coexist alongside of? That is mundane and lame. I want love and I want it be reciprocated. I want my future person to love me as I will love her, with the desire to increase that romance year after year, decade after decade. Love brings happiness and tranquility. When someone loves you, it is an internal feeling of similar affection that you know won’t fade one way or another.

Trust

An important building block in a relationship is trust. Without trust, why would you even want to enter a relationship or any entity requiring sacred commitment? I left my relationship with multiple feelings of discontentment and losing trust in my ex really made me realize that I didn’t trust her. Amdid our separation, I still struggle with trying to decide if I want to learn to trust her again–if I ever thought there would be a future–or accept what was and utilize what I learned for my next partner. So much wrong and deceit occurred and it didn’t lead me down a road denying the next person’s love, however, it made me understand that I can’t be so trusting in an individual who covers up their intentions underneath their soul.

Success

In my journey, I have many successful stories to share and compare with others. In a relationship, I don’t want to be the only one successful because my success is to be their success as well. I want others to thrive and part of Capricorn nature is to be a boss who is goal-oriented and focused on explorative opportunities. Success is a quality my soul needs and desires to have. It is a continuous internal sense of drive that allows me to physically and emotionally do better than the last time I did something.

Balance

What is balance? When compared to a scale, balance is equally shared. An imbalanced scale, for the sake of metrics, is not a scale I am willing to negotiate with. I want equal growth, equal love, equal opportunity, equality in every essence of the word. Without balance, people throw themselves in a whirlpool of stuck emotions, lost dreams or hidden hopes. I’m not talking about the usual work-life balance we’re used to hearing, I am referring to balance where two entities understand how to understand the other. It is okay to not be the same as the next person. I don’t even want to date a replica of myself. What I do want, is someone balanced, who understands me and allows me to understand them in a unique or informatively passionate way.

Family

What it all boils down to is family. I am writing this post as a father to two children who love me more than I could ever love myself. My two children and I go through life together and they really have been keeping me in line so I can ensure they have the same access to success as I have had. My children are the reason I wake up every day and the reason I am seeking higher education. My children’s earliest smiles each morning and sleepiest expressions each night tell me I have mastered this thing called fatherhood.

I couldn’t have been a father without their presence on this earth, without God–and though I can’t deny–their mother. I have been fine living without the person I wanted to go through life with and that is because their journey didn’t align with mine. Maybe in time, it could, but too much karmic damage took place over the last five months and no one waits around forever.

Without family, I am nothing. Without my children, I feel I lack purpose. Being a dad is something I am excellent at and I will keep doing it until the day I die.
