Dear _____,
A close friend helped me come to a realization today. The realization of who I might want to be. Specifically, in relation to you. She said "the best way to get what you want in a relationship (of any kind) is to start by acting in that way for the other."
Naturally, I asked myself "what DO I want in relationship and am I acting towards others in that way now?"
I want people to be intimate with me; open, transparent, and vulnerable
I want people to be curious about, respect, and support my dreams
I want people to rely on me
I want people to trust me
I want people to know my strengths and know my weaknesses and to encourage and challenge me on both
And I think the list is just beginning...
I want to start here and now in our relationship. By first making myself vulnerable here. I want you to know that I trust you and will rely on you. I want to both encourage you and to challenge you. And most of all, I want to know what your dreams are, and to stand beside you in your journey, offering what I can.
