In our closest relationships in life, we often make the mistake of holding onto the past version of our loved ones. We reminisce about those old memories and make every attempt to recapture that feeling in the present without recognizing them for what they are – just remembrances of the past.

Instead we should travel with each other as companions on this life journey as we both continually evolve into newer versions of ourselves. See the other person for who he/she is now. Stay in touch with each other – in the present, not just the past.
