How To Keep The Fire Of Your Passion Ablaze Forever
Think about the passion in a romantic relationship.
At the beginning of the relationship you would consider yourself “passionate” about the other person.
You try your best to create fun dates, have them like you or just want the best for them.
You invest yourself fully into the relationship, so much so that your friends may not even see you for weeks.
You message them every minute of every day or try to spend as much time as possible with them, moving your entire schedule around to fit theirs if need be.
At the start, they are everything to you. They are your highest priority, not out of necessity but desire and love.
The truth is, they make you feel great, and you simply want to feel this way as much as possible.
As time goes on, however, that passion somehow fades.
You still message them as often as you can, but just have some other priorities that take precedence.
You still go on dates, but will not shift your entire schedule around to be with them anymore.
And, you will still care for them a lot, but they are by no means everything to you and not your greatest source of joy.
