Hello LMAC and Hive members. I wanted to share with you my current freestyle collage. My theme entails a conflict of personalities. One may ask sincerely, "Why not accompany me to the seashore? We can stroll along the coast and watch the sunset." One possible response may be, "but I don't care for water. Rather, let's go hiking and enjoy the nature trail."
Should two different perspectives of how individuals spends time enjoying what satisfies each one's desire affect a relationship? Is there room for both?
If not, then certainly there can be no successful relationship.
If so, then compromise comes into play. This aspect of human personalitycan be a beautiful solution to individuality in terms of how time is divided to satisfy each other's desires. My design is a freestyle version of this concept.
For more information about the LMAC Community, visit here. You can also join in the contests by visiting the current one: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 236 - ✨40 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.
In preparing my theme, I wanted to portray two different aspects of what individuals may prefer as their choice of leisure or entertainment. Some may desire a quiet space; some adventure; some sports related activities' and for some spending time with family and friends participating in their activities. The choices are limitless.
I discovered a lovely free-sourced photo of a female who enjoys one type of nature among insects and animals. I paired it the current LMAC contest photo of a man enjoying the water. I also included several of my pure fractals I designed in the advanced fractal rendering program Apophysis 7X and abstract images I designed in the drawing program, Bomomo.
Below are the images I included to complete my theme.

I then utilized Canva to blend. I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

Balancing in human relationship is a must, buf never easy to do because the ego
But once we did it, we can enjoy the difference 😊
Yes, there must be a balance. The concept is called compromise if two people want a relationship to succeed and thrive. I love to go fishing because that's what I was raised in a household where all went fishing. My husband is not that patience, but he goes with me and fetches the bait.
Thanks so much for your visit and insight. And you are correct that when egos get in the way, life can be difficult to navigate. Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. Take care.

Glad to hear your husband be patience with you, not the fishing ehehe.
Compromise is must 😊 Have a lovely day

Saludos @ibarra95. Agradezco tu apoyo y compromiso con mis obras. Cuídate y mantente a salvo.
I read your reflection and thought about finding the right balance between two different themes or options, as you mention. And that compromise is essential for them, trying to reconcile the different options.
As for the design, it is very well done, especially the butterflies on the face, which signify change and transformation in all areas. I loved it!🤗
Hello @avdesing. Thanks so much for your visit and thorough read of my story that reflected the theme. Yes, compromise is essential for a healthy relationship so that each person can experience independence and growth knowing the other partner supports and understands. The key is open communication and willingness to listen and give support.
Take care.

I always say that without communication, it's impossible for a relationship to work. Have a great week!🤗
This is a fascinating collage ... indeed, deep love and understanding is necessary to account for the other person's appreciation of nature!
Indeed, all relationships if they are going to be meaningful and lasting have in common communication, understanding, and compromise to allow each partner to grow.
I appreciate your visit and insight as I know you've witnessed firsthand the fruits of a relationship that encompasses deep love and understanding. Take care.

The way to live a good life is to try to build relationships in such a way that people understand us and we understand them. Only then will life be good.
That is true @djbravo. But how would you suggest building a good relationship for understanding and tolerance? What comes to mind is compromise and communication. Relationships will always have difficult times, but good communication is key. Then, as you say, life can be good.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. Take care.
