Relationship Reflection


Relationships/partnerships are vital because they are a healthy part of development.  The relationships/partnerships I have with my family (father/sisters/nieces/nephews) and friends (boyfriend/co-workers) are the most valuable facets of my life. My relationships/partnerships defines who I am as an individual and grounds me.  These relationships/partnerships are so vital to my development because they have become a source of existence for me.  Without the bonding and  nurturing I don’t think I would be the person I am today.  The bonds that have been formed because of these relationships/partnership have sustain me through some difficult times and has help me enjoy the good times.  But also at the same time it is important that we know what relationships/partnerships are genuine and those that aren’t.  However the unauthentic relationships/partnerships are also apart of healthy development so don’t fret once they are unmarked because it is those genuine relationships/partnerships that will help get you through this process.  In essence maintaining healthy relationships/partnerships serves as a basis for healthy growth.  I feel that in order for strong relationships/partnerships to be formed one must share some common interest, be able to get along, and have one another’s best interest and well being at heart more importantly.  Healthy relationships/partnerships serves  as a source of support and foster positive outcomes.

  1. Hi Torri-
    You are right, with relationships we have to be willing to give and recieve. Over time we come to realize who is important to us and what relationships are unauthentic. But they are important in our development- they teach us lessons and help us to be better individuals. I never regret the past because it has brought me to who am I today.

  2. Hello Torri, your comment on those unhealthy relationships being a part of our development is so true. We are blessed & lucky if we experience those relationships early in life and then USE those lessons to help create positive and healthy relationships later on. The saying about 'there's a season for everything' rings true. Many relationships we build aren't meant to travel through life with us. We fail to realize that the season of our 'failed' friendships may have run it's course...as well as the season of our intimate relationships. We must look for the purpose of new and old relationships in order to decipher what was healthy & unhealthy. We are blessed if we learn the lesson!
