Reflection on Personal Relationship


Love isn't one-size-fits-all. It not only means something
different to everyone, but it also looks and feels different to
everyone. That's why there are so many different types of
relationships — so each person can find the best fit for their
individual lifestyle, personality, and concept of love. Just like
you need to date different people to learn what you want in a
potential partner, you may want to try out different types of
relationships to figure out what you want out of your romantic
life. Ultimately, you hope to find someone — or someone’s —
whose preferred relationship type is similar to yours. But first,
it helps to know there are all different ways to be in a
relationship
