The Discovery Stage of Relationships

You know, every relationship hits this stage where things stop feeling easy.

It’s called the discovery stage — when we start seeing the things we don’t love as

much, when conflicts show up, and we have to decide if we’re ready to

work through them… or give up. I’m not perfect. I’ve been reflecting, reading,

learning, trying to grow — because I want us to get better, not just me.

But a relationship can’t grow if only one person is trying. I’m not asking for perfection.

I’m asking for effort. For you to sit with me, talk with me, understand me —

like we used to. Because I still believe there’s enough good between us to fight for.
