Relationships are an exchange of energies.
For this reason, many relationships are full of pain.
When I am in pain and the other is in pain, then we exchange the energy of pain.
When I am full of love and the other is full of love, the exchange is filled with the energy of love.
To enter a relationship looking for the other to give me happiness or love to make up for the pain,
is to begin the habit of taking, not giving.
This eventually drains the relationship.
It's time to transform the habit of taking to the habit of giving
by bringing love to myself and to my relationships.
