Chemistry or Compatibility?

“If you keep chasing fireworks, you’ll miss out on your fireplace.” -Ibbie

Fireworks don’t last and often lead to chaos.⠀

Yet this is what gets us the most excited. ⠀

We seek out fireworks (or chemistry) which often gets us caught up in unhealthy relationships.⠀

They move fast, they’re super intense and they captivate our attention quickly.⠀

And once the intensity dies down, the toxicity swoops in. ⠀

And you find yourself in an unhealthy, toxic and even abusive relationship.⠀

Whereas the fireplace is warm, cozy, comforting, peaceful and consistent.⠀

It builds up slowly and takes time to create warmth around a room.⠀

And it only dies if you put the fire out. ⠀

What type of love do you think is more sustainable overtime?⠀

Definitely the fireplace.⠀

Oftentimes we think that instant sparks and chemistry means you’ll have a great relationship with someone.⠀

But instant spark and chemistry does not always equal compatibility. ⠀

Yes fireworks are exciting, thrilling, & adrenaline pumping.⠀

But after they’re lit, they only last for a few seconds before dying away forever.⠀

Choose warm, comforting, & peaceful fireplace love. ⠀

You deserve the BEST!
