My acquaintance, M, has a way of seeing things which I like. When I told him I was getting married and that it was both exciting and scary, he said marriage is a good thing. He then said the only downside is that I'll be losing my privacy. This was profound to hear. I've had siblings and friends as roommates, but I've never cohabited with a romantic partner before. Being with a romantic partner is like I once said, “Relationship is kayaking; two athletes on one boat, synced together in action, determination and goal. Their flow is choreography; when they disagree about where they stand, nothing seems pretty”. This means helping your mate understand your thought processes and actions in a way that keeps them updated on where you are and where you stand. My friend was right. For someone like me who enjoys their solitude and privacy of thoughts, this poses a challenge for me.
It’s an extremely emotional piece. Thanks for sharing 👌
Thank you so much for reading, brother. 🙏🏿
