Relationship Complexities

Navigating the complexities of relationships has been an intriguing and often challenging journey for me. My upbringing in a conservative Christian community deeply influenced my understanding of love, embedding a notion of conditional affection that hinged on strict adherence to certain rules and norms. This form of love was like a double edged sword, it offered warmth and belonging as long as I walked the perfect path, but turned cold and distant the moment I strayed.

This early exposure to conditional love has significantly shaped my approach to relationships in adulthood. As I wade into the world of forming new friendships and relationships, I often find myself in a state of constant fear and over awareness. This vigilance manifests in two conflicting ways: an over sensitivity to the dynamics of my relationships, leading me to question their authenticity at every turn, and, paradoxically, a tendency to miss or overlook critical signals that should capture my attention.

The process of unlearning the principles of conditional love and embracing a concept of unconditional love is similar to navigating a maze(I know I love comparing life to a maze). Each interaction becomes a lesson, a step towards understanding that true love and affection aren’t tied to a set of conditions or expectations. Instead, they are unmovable, not falling in the face of choices or actions that go off the path only slightly.

This time has been about discovering that genuine relationships are built on a foundation of trust, understanding, and acceptance. It’s about learning that love, in its purest form, is about giving without the expectation of receiving something in return. It’s a gradual realization that while the love I knew in my youth was contingent on compliance, the love I seek now is about mutual respect and understanding.

Each day presents a new opportunity to understand love and relationships better, to distinguish between the conditional love of my past and the unconditional love I aspire to both give and receive. This ongoing evolution of my understanding of love is not just a path towards healthier relationships but also a journey of self discovery and growth.

Celebrating My Egg Cracking Anniversary!

What an experience! I remember that day a year ago very well. I was on vacation visiting my family in Mexico. We had just come back from the beach the day before. The next day, we were going to Mexico City to catch a plane home. I decided to walk around my family's town and relax before our trip. I spent the day downtown, buying gifts for friends and enjoying every moment.

When I got back to my parents' house, I was very tired. I continued binge watching the anime "Onimai," and by bedtime, I was at the last episode of the first season. In "Onimai," the main character changes from a boy to a girl using an experimental drug. In the last episode, as the drug's effects start to fade, the character has to choose whether to go back to being a boy or take more of the drug, knowing it would last longer and be harder to reverse. Watching this, I quietly said, "I wish I had that drug..." and then my life changed forever!

I don't regret finding this out. The journey hasn't been easy or cheap. However, after a year, I still have a lot to explore, both inside myself and in the world. I've lost some relationships, yet the ones that remain are stronger, especially with my wife and kid. I have a new life ahead, which is both scary and exciting.
