30 Relatable Memes for Women Maintaining Their Identity and Individuality in Relationships

I'll be the first to admit that it's so easy to lose yourself in a relationship. At times, emotions can be so overpowering that you find yourself losing sight of yourself and your needs, as your focus becomes consumed by the desires and preferences of your partner. And then from there, it's a slippery slope into codependent la-la-land. 

While love is about intertwining two lives, maintaining your individuality and preserving your identity is crucial for a healthy and thriving partnership. In this crazy journey we call love and companionship, it's easy to become so absorbed in the togetherness that you lose sight of yourself as an individual. However, embracing and nurturing your personal growth can actually strengthen your bond. 

With that being said, I present to you a big ol' collection of memes about the importance of preserving your uniqueness while embracing the journey of love, dating, and relationships. Enjoy!
