Relationships are volcanos. Pictured above is a view of the Arenal volcano in Costa Rica. I found this to be fitting for today's post because it serves as a reminder that a relationship is beautiful when it's peaceful, but it can easily awaken and turn into something even more special or become a total nightmare.
In speaking with the locals who live near it, I've learned many things about the Arenal volcano. The last eruption occurred in 2010, destroying a town that was near the volcano. A few years ago, at night, the volcano used to emit sparks, revealing beautiful colors that delighted all eyes that fell upon it. The volcano is now dormant. Despite being a thing to be feared, it is also a thing that is embraced and celebrated by the people.
Likewise, relationships are beautiful, but sometimes they can bring destruction. They can become toxic, unforgiving, and change your character. They can also be beautiful and enhance your life for the better. Either way, volcanos and relationships both bring change, and that is not a bad thing.
The key is this: when change comes, it's better to embrace it than to fight it. This is how we grow as humans. Celebrate the relationship that brings you fulfillment. Celebrate the relationship that brought you pain. Celebrate either way, because either way, you learn and you become better.
