Anything or nothing...

I'm never satisfied. It's not that the grass is greener, it's just that I'd like to play on the grass in the other field. I love my grass. I just get bored of it. It has nothing to do with appreciation. I sometimes wonder if I can have more grass. Or experience different grass. I believe I can have anything I want. It's just that in wanting, I get nothing.

Destiny...

Maybe some of us are not meant to be in relationships. There are far too many permanently single people floating around. And even the ones in relationships, well, I think they will become single at some point. In most cases, I'm so sure, that when I meet someone who is in a relationship, I wonder when they will be single again. Who will be there to catch them and help them through the recovery stage.

Easy like Sunday morning...

Revelation: (I've been having a lot of them it seems)

I totally agree that relationships, rather, making relationships sustainable, are a lot of work. But, I feel that, in the beginning stages it should be easy. I mean, it shouldn't be uncomfortable, or a lot of thinking. It should just flow. Like, when you have to think and ask whether you should be calling the person, it's likely starting off bad. Think about it. What were your best relationships? How did it start? Was it natural? Did it feel right?

More like Cereal...

I'm tired. I feel like a big bowl of corn flakes. Oh, I mean, I don't want to eat the cereal, I AM the cereal. Being eaten alive. I don't want to be roasted grain! I surely don't want to be a serial anything!

Damn!

Ever had an epiphany moment - you know - it just hits you! Well, I've been having lots lately. Either my brain is open to receiving the information or I was truly unaware. My most current epiphany moment relates to my own inability to reveal my true self. I manage my own emotions so I don't reveal too much about myself. How crazy is that? Here I am, thinking I'm the most open person in the world, when in fact, I'm likely the complete opposite. I manage everyone and everything around me - constantly. It never ends. It's such a habit. I have to break it!

Children raising children...

We're a society that has extended our longevity almost three fold in one century. As our population ages, as we gain freedom, independent thought and the permission to do as we please, my observation is we have a society of children raising children, misguided, misled, miscommunicated and misunderstood. It's true, we are younger longer. It's also true that we never grow up. We have become expert in just about every form of communication, yet I cannot see any evidence that we communicate any better.

We are no more equipped for managing our relationships today than prior generations. As far as I know, there are no classes in high school that teach us about relationships.

Complaining and pointing out flaws are easy. My goal in my lifetime is to impact a generation. To change the relative importance we place on our most valuable asset, our relationships. Now I just have to figure out how I do that.

What are we gonna do?

When there's nothing to do, what do you do? Why does a date have to revolve around an event, a specific "to do"?

A real litmus test, for me, is the outcome of a non-event based date. Is there comfort, interest and the je ne sais quoi.
