Day 7: Perspective

per·spec·tive pərˈspektiv/ noun

1. the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.

2. a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.

This is a word/topic that has become a center of our relationship. Most times, oddly enough, a perspective is the most difficult thing to have a perspective on. If that makes sense. In reality, we spend so much time trying to figure out what the other person is saying, that we lose sight of what is actually right in front of our face. Again, it is an incredibly difficult feat to see how everything is, from everyone's perspective, while maintaining your sanity and persona. A lot of times, we end up sort of shrugging it off, agreeing to disagree, just so we can get "past" the currently discussed topic. I am sleepy, and don't know if any of the above sentences make sense. My hope for you, on this trip (and always in life), is that you are able to see what the other people are thinking, without wavering from your feelings. Compromisation is not normally a good thing. It takes you far out of your comfort zone, only to feel as though you fit in. You are really good at being yourself at home, and even on the road so far, but I hope that you are able to keep that up. You are more than capable, and will always succeed at hearing people out, while continuing to be yourself. And since you have been away, all I can think about is how much we have to take each other into consideration in order to be successful in our relationship. Accommodating, yes, but more so understanding. Speaking of understanding, I hope you got everything I was trying to say.

Love,

Matthew
