Stay Forever Sunday: Marriage.

withoutmelissa:

I hate when we argue, but most often, it is the thing that reminds us we are human. For so long we were a couple and then our eyes blinked closed and they opened to us with a baby on each hip, an official new title: mama. daddy. and less time than we’d ever had before for our individual selves and…

“So we go on, being human. Living with our imperfect selves. Recognizing each other’s weaknesses and loving despite. Creating our balance. Fighting sometimes. Forgiving always. The day in, day out of for better and for worse.”

During one of the hardest, darkest, and most exhausting periods of my young life, Melissa’s beautifully honest and poetically written post about marriage indirectly reminded me that we go on being human. We do, don’t we. When I pout and stew, and you shut down, and when you get stern and I shut down, when things are so hard and strained, we go on being human. Creating that balance, that balances it all out. The one we strive for every day, the one that’s so difficult to find sometimes through the smog. But the balance, it’s there.

Through all the shit and ugly cloud days,
we go on being human one forgiveness at a time.
