Letter from The Blooming Union
We pen this letter to all of our supporters fresh off an argument last night, making for a very honest and genuine reflection on our 3 years that we have been together. Throughout the three years, we have learned a lot about each other and us as a union which has brought us to the creation of The Blooming Union. By no means do we consider ourselves perfect as we thrive off our imperfections. We understand that change doesn’t happen overnight and we give each other the opportunity to grow through trial-and-error. We have battled through times of pain, basked in times of happiness and worked together through times of growth. Throughout all, our commitment to loving each other and being in a relationship hasn’t wavered. Instead it’s been tested and given new life every time.
Here are three concepts we decided to key in on in regards to being together for 3 years:-
Balance - The greatest trait of a successful relationship. Though compromise is tied into this, balance stands as the nucleus. For us, we have understood throughout our relationship that we should also give our all. Balance may not always be 50-50 especially when one person may be able to do something else better; helping the other to learn and grow from it. However balance is about possessing and demonstrating the even mindset that flows through both of us throughout the relationship.
Compromise - The easiest way to describe this is wait your turn. Compromise is acknowledging and being comfortable with the fact that things can’t always be your way. This is selflessness at its core. Being that we are so different from each other, it has opened our eyes to different things while still preserving who we are. Compromise only works if both individuals are willing to bite the bullet and go with their significant other’s choice, recommendation or opinion. When you truly love someone you aim to conquer compromise.
Self-Awareness - The humbling mirror you should look in everyday. This is your opportunity to truly look at your strengths and flaws with intent and resolve. Understanding how your strengths better yourself, your partner and the overall state of the relationship, in addition to recognizing how your flaws may take away from the relationship are vital to any relationship. Always think about how you can polish your strengths and correct your flaws because longevity can only be achieved through constant care.
The Blooming Union is our canvas to not only express ourselves but our love. We hope through our content and personalities that you’ll be able to take something and use it in some facet of your life. We welcome you.
