Is The Goal Partnership?
If it were, WE would have a more significant meaning than looking to validate I in a relationship. I’s start all their relationships believing they found someone who can enhance their identity—going from I’s to WE’s: A Friend, A Spouse, A Parent, A Village.
Then, somewhere down the line, I lose track of why WE became us in the first place. I start fixating on its independence. I don’t have any responsibility but me; I come and go as I please, I can eat what I want, live how I want, I don’t have to argue with anyone.
Yet, I Forgot how WE gave them purpose.
The goal was a partnership.
I promised to be responsible for someone else’s livelihood. I agreed to discuss the goings and comings, the daily meals, the lives WE wanted. I supported arguing to find common ground so WE can be us. When did it change?
The goal was a partnership.
I know WE would take merging ideas to form a collective ideal. I know WE would help through the hardships and challenges when I became the hardship. I know WE would mean becoming interdependent.
The goal is a partnership.
So, why is our identity centered more around I instead of WE? When the goal is I’s into We’s.
We were born I’s to become We’s
because We’s Make Us Better I’s
So continue building your partnerships because they see what you can’t and encourage you to have a vision.
