What did you think of this episode, any thoughts?

In this episode I talk about the endurance of love. Everyday we think about finding the "one" because we want to find someone who completes us. I cannot stress it enough that loving yourself is the reflection to how you find the person that will compliment you instead of complete you, which is totally different. If you are someone that is in a relationship you might think about sustaining that relationship and making it last hopefully til the end. The beautiful thing is loving someone changes because people change and there should be no expectation to how you should love someone but how you adapt. Lastly when we are in a situationship and it seems so daunting to let go of that love, you have to revaluate onto why you thought about letting it go in the first place. You will most likely find reasons why you don't want to let it go and it's hard I know, I've been there! What's important is giving you what you deserve and that's love, patience, tolerance and understanding because that is all that love is.
