Love is sort of like rock climbing, in the sense of having to understanding the technicalities, being vulnerable, having patience & utilizing all of your strength.
Technicalities are like the foundation stage of the relationship in understanding the rules and regulations. Knowing each others good and bad habits, what you do and don’t like, the different views you have on life, religion, God, politics, etc… This is also the most important stage because it will ultimately lower your risks of being injured or hurt.
Vulnerability, the second stage, is very important in the safety of your heart because you are in fact trusting someone with your mind, body and spirit and hoping they were paying attention to the technicalities so there aren’t too many mishaps. You’re taking a gamble that this person is going to spot you at all times while you’re climbing up that rocky wall of love and if you slip, they’ve got you covered and brace your fall before you hit the floor.
Patience is the stage that is learned through the time and experience of the relationship. As you both grow, you’ll understand that there is no rush and you don’t have to be impulsive. Regardless of 6 months or three years, as long as you make it to the top of the wall of love, utilized all the correct technicalities and allowed yourself to be vulnerable to your partner it doesn’t matter how slow you get to the top because you did it the right way.
The last stage is strength. Even with the right technicalities, being vulnerable and having patience, you still need the
strength not to QUIT when you’re tired.
Love is a drug. So get addicted to the right person!
