How does the one go back to two?

You get so caught up in "Societies" take on marriage then one day you look up and BOOM you don't recognize who you are as an individual, all you know is who you are as a unit with the person you've married. You know your a spouse, your a parent, your a friend but who are you as a person? What are your likes and dislikes because as of now your likes and dislikes have been fused with those of the people that are around you. How do you get "YOURSELF" back? Spend time with yourself, date yourself, fall in LOVE with yourself. This doesn't take away from your partner its necessary to have your own identity and have that YOU time. This will help you get a better sense of what you want because your wants of yesteryear don't have to be your same wants for tomorrow. I'm learning this now little by little, I haven't come up with my wants as of yet but I'm still working on self. When my husband decided that he was going on a journey of self discovery I was a bit annoyed and confused like how can you go on a self discovery in a marriage what if our paths don't lead back to the same place? You have to trust that this person is for you and if they are not then they were there for a season and that's OK. We go through life trying to hold on to relationships and friendships that we feel should be forever but nothing is forever except your relationship with yourself so you have to nurture that relationship. People and things are temporary and we must understand that concept and be able to move on, and be OK knowing we have ourselves. I enjoy being married I enjoy having a companion, being a parent, but I also enjoy doing things I like to do without them.....
