Being a woman that has done everything for myself to be asked to let go of what makes me who I am , is like asking a man to stop having sex . To often in relationships , no matter what kind . we often give to much of ourselves to please our partners ,friends and family . It's funny I watched an episode of the 70's show "Good Times" when Thelma was asked to change parts of her script to appease the producer of the play she wrote. She told the lady " That to much compromise with out reward becomes Surrender". Now that one line is something we all should live by. I'm not saying compromising is a bad thing ; but when you change to much of yourself you tend to lose what was special about you ,conforming to please or avoid conflict with your partner isn't always best , sometimes you need to stand up and protect your original self and your beliefs . Why do we surrender so easily? What are we searching for? Are we so lost that we are blinded by the thought of being in love no matter how bad our situations are? We Stay hoping for change .We keep our so called friends with the hope that their better than family .We are seeking answers that are deep within us ?
