"The ozone layer is a deep layer in the stratosphere, encircling the Earth, that has large amounts of ozone in it. The layer shields the entire Earth from much of the harmful ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun. "
Okay, so what if that definition made us feel like a pair of super-genius scientists?
WE AWESOME!
What's the ozone layer we're talking about? This, my friends, is exactly what a 'comfort zone' does. Go ahead, go re-read that definition. 'The layer shields the entire Earth from much of the harmful ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun'
Okay so here's the breakdown:
Shields, because you two love birds just started going out with one another, your shields tend to be slightly lowered, still afraid to lower your guard completely and let them in, well in this context, letting them in would be, Earth. They'd get to Earth if your shields, aka ozone layer, is down.
Earth, this is where all your true thoughts and feelings are at. If you've been in past relationships that haven't exactly gone great, you'd want to protect Earth as much as possible to prevent the cycle of pain and suffering to repeat itself.
Harmful radiation, is all the criticism, the hurt, morale crushers, confidence breakers, freedom with a lid on it, and fear at it's best. These are the things that let your emotions spiral downwards leaving you trying to frantically claw at anything that could save you. These are the things that let tears, waterfall off your face and make puddles that soak your shoes.
Now here's the thing. What if you let down your shields and allowed that special someone into the gap of your ozone layer? You trust this person, you see the future with them, you see everything with them. It was as if you've been enlightened.
How did that person do that? Well, all those letters that made your heart melt, all those surprises that left you speechless, sweet nothings that were said all throughout the day, and of course, trying to spend every waking moment together.
So now you're getting real comfortable with one another. You share your secrets, your past experiences, heck you share everything together. But what if it seems as though they're so comfortable now that, all the things they did to try get past your shields, slowly started to become less frequent.
How would you feel? Would you feel like they love you less? Would it feel like your relationship's gonna start getting rocky? Would you feel like you're trying too hard to get their attention?
Let us do the honor of enlightening you, stop thinking so much. If the relationship means so much to you, talk about it. Communicate. Don't you EVER, underestimate the power of communication.
It helps you and your love bird to talk about anything. I mean, you guys are so comfortable with each other anyway, you should be able to share everything! These problems you're facing now, should not be a problem if the two of you are working hand-in-hand. Nothing can stop you, okay not literally, but it would definitely feel like you two are an unstoppable duo.
So if you feel like it's getting too comfortable and some things don't feel right, talk about it. Not through texts, please in heaven's name, no. Talk to them face to face. You'll be able to better understand, when you can see facial expressions and listen to the tones they use, to figure out how the situation could be handled.
And if you two ever get mad, don't get mad at the person, be furious at the situation. At the end of the day, the two of you should still be madly in love, trying to tackle one problem at a time.
