Don't Lose Yourself

 Over the course of the last few days, during my blogcation, I've come to realize a three word phrase.  This phrase is something that is necessary to listen to.  That phrase is "Don't Lose Yourself."
  When one loses themselves, it means that they have lost who they are, what they like, and their identity, as a whole.  This is quite common in a relationship.  It happens because one party is so busy making sure that their mate is happy, that they sacrifice friends, family, relationships, and what they love doing. This can cause issues with that person trying to make the relationship work. They will feel that what they do is never enough and they may feel unappreciated.
  I advise you and I take this advice for myself, although you may be in a relationship, don't lose yourself. Don't allow yourself to be so absorbed in your mate that you forget about yourself.  Set boundaries and communicate with your mate.  If they can't agree to certain terms and wants you to meet their demands and are not willing to compromise, then you must evaluate what's best for you.
  It's okay to put yourself first sometimes so that you will not lose yourself.
Remember, to Live, Love, and Be Free,
