Written By Yvette Cabrera
Today, our society has become immersed in the fundamental idea of honoring one’s individuality. While this fundamental ideology of honoring one’s individuality has been pivotal in recognizing it within many aspects of society, it’s inclusively possibly inhibited the way we approach commitment within anything in our lives, especially relationships.
Perhaps these aspects of self have promoted excessive self-obsession, overplay with the self-reliant. sufficiency, and overkill on the independent lifestyle.
Let’s stop and think to ourselves. What does commitment look like for you?
This self-reliant way of being and thinking has become so common, and it’s truly disappointing to witness how so many no longer even consider commitment as a first priority when getting into a relationship. with someone. No. longer are we out. looking to a relationship to rely on the other person. No longer are we falling back onto others for support. And nor are we taking the time out of our lives to be there for those closest to us. These normalized societal ideas of honoring one’s independence within the developmental growth for us has deterred our perspective on commitment and more importantly the commitment of a relationship.
So I ask, What does commitment look like for you?
So many would choose to acknowledge the self-sufficient individual’s hard working lifestyle over the individual whose sacrificing their lifestyle t commit to someone they chose to invest they’re life into. Why? You might ask. I’ll answer that for you plain and simple. It’s because those who acknowledge and recognize individuality take pride in doing so. More interesting, it seems that these are the same type of people who’ve really never been successful in staying committed to their own lives as they believe they have. If one can’t commit to doing for themselves, then what makes one believe that they’ll find themselves committed to others?
Now, let’s continue diving deeper with this. What does commitment look like for you?

Commitment seems so foreign for many. For so many people they commit to doing the things in life that no longer really serve a purpose within their life.
