RE: Between pain and gain

Beautiful, creative and colorful as always!
I loved the tree-furniture metaphor, haha. So true.
I think that sometimes we don’t see that danger sign. It’s something like a self-sabotage. People tend to idealize others ( and I think we were talking about this before) according to ideas from stories, movies, books, society.
I love reading your posts.

Oh thanks, I love bright colours in bodypainting! Oh well the tree metaphor just came out of my mind, but it is true. Too many women/men take the wrong tree in their life, wishing for furniture after.

Idealization is dangerous. Although it can be useful when we use it in our dreams, goals, aspirations, in personal relationships it can be quite detrimental. I do believe that the right partner should make you want to be the best version of yourself. But that partner must be like a smooth warm breeze, to slowly guide you towards yourself. To not push you, but guide you. Too many times when we try to get things by force, critique, anger it doesn't work. For a change to last, it has to happen out of free will and in the inside. I believe that is the magic of love. To find someone to love for who they are, expect nothing, but somehow manage to make them reach their best potential. Have expectations of higher achievements for yourself, and the power of example will go a long way.

Some people will never change because they can't see how they are wrong. They are wearing the wrong glasses to see the life and no matter how much you try, you will fail to convince them to remove them from the eyes of their mind. Some people will change. For a lover, for themselves. Love can be a great motivator for some people. But not for all. It is quite relative. And... That is ok.

I am happy that you enjoy my posts, I experience the same feeling of joy when I write them📝😊

Have a lovely week-end Alejandra!

There is an awesome song that talks about putting on your love glasses.
