On this commercialized day which celebrates lovers, all I can think is "Boy, I sure am happy being single..." ;)
When I was "owned", instead of building me up my partner broke me down. That which does not kill you makes you stronger. Despite how negative that sounds, it was a good experience overall because it reminded me how important it is to be myself and not change for others. Having a partner does not mean giving up yourself. Compromise should be the exception; acceptance the norm.
And what I said above about being happy single is not true. In all honesty, I long to be in a loving relationship. However, I would rather remain single than compromise myself or what I need from a partner.
