The Beauty of Having Your Own Person

October 3, 2023

As I sit here thinking about the past two years of my relationship with Ụtọ m, I can't help but smile. It's been an incredible journey, filled with love, laughter, and support.

I remember when we first met, I was immediately drawn to her intelligence, her wit, her love for Jesus and His church, her sense of humour, and her kind heart. We quickly became friends, and it wasn't long before we realized that we had more than just a friendship.

We've been through a lot together in the past two years. We've celebrated each other's successes and been there for each other through the tough times. We've learned to grow and compromise together.

I'm so grateful to have her in my life. She's a gift... scrap that! She's my gift, my biggest supporter, my best friend, and the love of my life.

In addition, she's also my muse and inspiration. There are mornings, since I revived my newsletter and invited you, to signup, that I woke uninspired and didn't know what to wrote about, but just a word or string of words from her and my creative juices burst open.

This morning is one of such. The subject of today's newsletter are her own words, verbatim.

The Beauty of Having Your Own Person

, having your own person is one of the most beautiful things in life. It's having someone who makes you feel loved, cherished, and desired. It's having someone who you can always count on, no matter what. It's having someone who makes life worth living.

Here are some of the beauties of having your own person:

They make you feel loved and cherished

When you're with the right person, you feel like you're the only one in the world. They make you feel like you're special and worthy of love. They cherish you for who you are, flaws and all.

They're your biggest supporter

Your own person is someone who always has your back. They believe in you and support your dreams. They're there to celebrate your successes and pick you up when you fall.

They're your shoulder to cry on

When you're going through a tough time, your own person is there for you. They're someone you can always talk to and cry in front of. They won't judge you or make you feel bad.

They make you laugh

One of the best things about having your own person is that they make you laugh. They know how to make you smile and forget about your worries.

They make life more fun

Having your own person makes everything more enjoyable. From going on dates, sharing career ideas, solving problems together, praying with them, to simply spending time together, they make life more fun and fulfilling.

If you're blessed to have your own person, cherish them, . They are a rare and precious gift (ironically beautifully, mine is named Gift! God has a sweet sense of humour).

Tips for Having a Happy and Fulfilling Relationship

• Communication is key: Talk to your partner about everything, both big and small. Be open and honest with each other.
• Spend time together: Make time for each other, even if you're both busy. Go on dates, take walks, or simply cuddle on the couch.
• Be supportive of each other's goals and dreams: Believe in your partner and encourage them to follow their dreams.
• Don't take each other for granted: Let your partner know how much you love and appreciate them.
• Be forgiving: Everyone makes mistakes. If your partner does something to upset you, be willing to forgive them.

, having a happy and fulfilling relationship takes work, but it's worth it. If you're both committed to making it work, you can have a relationship that lasts a lifetime.

I wish you all the good I wish myself and mine.
