There’s an ultimate paradox saying ‘Beauty is Pain’. It more specifically means that one or something could not be beautiful without first earning it by enduring anything from misery or torments. Reflecting on our relationship, we can say that beauty and pain are two things that come together and will always be there as long as we’re together. It’s two important things that have shaped and will continue to shape our relationship as well as ourselves as a person. Back at our early stages of relationship, we were always expecting only the beauty of the relationship, we were always trying to be fun and happy, we were so selfish that we had high expectations of each other, forgetting that we were both imperfect humans. We didn’t realize that we came into the relationship having our own pain from our past. We just thought that relationships are all about beauty, pain is not included. We have now realized that, yes, the pain is there and that’s okay, we just have to share and learn it together, making us closer and stronger than ever.

'Sometimes, the answer to our prayers is not gaining but losing; which ultimately is the gain'—This quote hit us deep. Our journey has been beautiful yet rough but seriously, we wouldn't want it any other way. To be who we are & where we are right now, is truly only by His grace. So, we would like to share and celebrate His love and mercy with the people we love the most!
