The Journey of Self-Discovery
At its core, love is a catalyst for self-discovery. When we open our hearts to love, we invite the possibility of seeing ourselves through another's eyes. This external perspective often reveals aspects of our personality and character that we might not have recognized on our own. The act of becoming in love involves embracing these revelations and growing from them.
In romantic relationships, partners become mirrors reflecting each other's strengths and weaknesses. This reflection encourages a deeper understanding of oneself and fosters personal growth. For instance, one might discover latent talents, hidden fears, or unexplored passions through the encouragement and support of a loving partner. This journey of self-discovery is a fundamental aspect of becoming in love.
The Evolution of Togetherness
The act of becoming is not solely an individual endeavor; it also encompasses the evolution of togetherness. In a loving relationship, two individuals merge their lives, dreams, and aspirations. This merging necessitates compromise, adaptation, and mutual growth.
Couples often find themselves evolving in ways they never anticipated. They develop new habits, interests, and routines that are born out of their shared experiences. This process of evolution strengthens the bond between partners and deepens their connection. The act of becoming, therefore, is a testament to the transformative power of love in shaping a unified identity from two distinct beings.
Overcoming Adversity
Love is not always a smooth journey. It is often fraught with challenges and obstacles. However, it is through these adversities that the act of becoming truly shines. Overcoming difficulties together fosters resilience and fortifies the bond between partners.
When faced with challenges, love demands growth. It pushes individuals to confront their fears, resolve conflicts, and navigate hardships with empathy and understanding. Each obstacle surmounted together is a step towards becoming stronger, more compassionate partners. This resilience is a hallmark of true love and a testament to its transformative power.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.
