Your love is the fuel for my change

Let me just say that the title for this blog I pulled miracously out of my ass earlier today. It was interesting because when I typed it to my significant other, while online messaging, I was blown away at how poetic I had just been. "Your love is the fuel for my change", is a simple idea and statement. Oh, how true it is. I believe that relationships are meant to provide one person with another who is willing to tolerate, yet mention your faults. Now, if this other person means something very important to you, let's say you love them, then you are more likely and more motivated to get off your metaphoric ass and start changing yourself for the better.

I want to change for them. Actually, excuse me, I want to change because of them. You should never change yourself for another person. No matter what. However, I think that people can change themselves because they are inspired by someone else. In the example of myself, my significant other has never asked me to change, and they never will. They love me for the way I am, and that is definitely clear. However, I know there are many characteristics within myself (as I have mentioned previously) that need to be improved. These problem areas harm the relationship, and I do not want to ruin this relationship, therefore I am changing myself.

If a person is not willing or cannot see the characteristics that need improving, then the relationship and love is not strong enough or false. Love is the fuel for change among the human race. Love and remorse. Remorse also inhibits change, but that is a totally different blog.
