A Partner’s Love is beautiful and complicated. It’s self inflicted, chosen, and ever evolving. Comforting.
Buried beneath the chaos of life, there’s a beating shared heart. A purpose together. A passion. Something worth growing together for. This piece encourages me to work at it, to water it, and to not take our love for granted. I do wonder if our heart beats align in moments of pure connection?
My initial impressions of this piece were purely how I receive my partner’s love, but it certainly takes two to tango doesn’t it? I really can’t be a better partner or fully embrace my partner’s love until my I’m full on my own.
“When we learn to love and understand ourselves and have true compassion for ourselves, then we can truly love and understand another person” - Thich Nhat Hanh
