Every relationship | adds something new to your life

In my opinion, every relationship has some good. It might not be the biggest part or the part that you will remember after the relationship ends, but still ... you might have found something that is you in this relationship.

In a new relationship you (usually) get exposed to new things - things that were there, but never entered your little world. It might be something as simple as a dish or a band.

A guy that I dated in one of my very first relationships in Johannesburg, opened a new world of music to me. I used to listen only to pop and rock - but never heavy rock. To this day, I love listening to Linkin Park.

Another thing that has stayed with me was a line in a letter that a guy gave to me. It went something along the lines of: He wishes that he could enjoy life the way I do. Yes, it may come from a time that I didn't have a mortage and car to pay, but sometimes, just sometimes, I still see those words and I wonder, why am I not just jumping and doing the things that I want - then of course I convince myself and do it.

With my fiance I learnt that curries aren't bad and that his cheesecake "fetish" sometimes is a bad thing :) oh, and that not all Leprechauns wear bells on their shoes.

Weekends away

Sometimes a break from our daily routine really is great.

Not only did we get to step out of our home shoes and get to spend time cooped up in a car and then spending a night or two somewhere... but when we got home, I think we really appreciated each other even more.

I must admit that I have become a real home body these last few months. Staying at home wasn't always this high on my list of things I love to do, but... since EU is coming closer... the more time I can spend with my man and son (The Genie), the better :)

WHat is your fav breakaway activity?
