I just had this revelation - I am so tired of reading all this crap about men, relationships, psychology, women, dating, marriage....okay, well. I'm not tired of the topics but I'm tired of feeling like I have to be this other version of myself as a single chick out in the dating world. Examples:
"Don't EVER let a man know he is wrong"
"ALWAYS let the guy make the first move"
"Give him what he wants when he wants it"
I can't stand the garble anymore! Why on frickin earth does there have to be all these rules and regulations when it comes to men and women? I get it. We are different. We have different needs, interests, ways of communicating, ways of reacting, ways to deal with emotions. I just know one thing - I NEED TO BE MY MYSELF. ALL OF ME. FROM THE MOMENT I MEET YOU. It's not to say we should lay our emotional and psychological baggage down at each others' feet but dammit. "Mating" should not be this tough.
Humans aren't built to be simple. Just look at the intricacies of our own physical bodies; the manifestation of a human life within a woman; the complexity of our minds. Granted, we sometimes make simple things more intricate than need be...but we are not built to just "be" easy. Life will never be just "easy." Love will never, ever be "easy." So why do I feel like so many people just look for the "easy" instead of taking a chance on a challenge?
You know what, peel back the layers and you have something quite profound. Beyond the glitz, the wit, the boisterous laughter and colorful facade, there's a deep, beautiful soul hidden. This is the treasure of humanity, a treasure we all posses. This is what you need to take patience with seeking within someone else.
