For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out why some people liked the town I lived in so much while I hated it. Then one day I realized karma people treat some people 1 way and others another. For example, most women in this town do not treat most men the way they treat other women and children. If they did it would be a lot easier to understand their intentions.

Looking back now, I realized that perhaps my experience in relationships was not so I’m common after all. Given the dysfunction of the average American these days, at least on a personal level [most don’t seem to understand the true essence of Is relationships -it’s better to give than to receive], quite often one person is required to show more character than the other. Usually the person who wants more or has the highest standards, hopes for that relationship. There is of course a 3rd category, that of a person with low standards [selfish, self-centered, thoughtless, inconsiderate] and high ideals [that was me?]. So, how many men, women suffer daily the misgivings, the shortcomings of their partners [and their children if they should come fully equipped]? In a relationship a person has to have a certain degree of self-sufficiency, autonomy -because most people, to a certain degree, relationship or no relationship, are living for themselves [THAT WAS MY EXPERIENCE WITH MOST RELATIONSHIPS]. I have ALOT OF BLINDSPOTS! It is probably quite natural to… In martial arts, when you run out of moves you’re dead -I think the same is true in relationships. Keeping a relationship intact day in and day out, keeping it thriving, is something that many people struggle with yeah in this country. Keeping it young, keeping it vibrant! And me -I was already a leg down, so-to-speak, on the competition. What did I know about a flourishing relationship. Based on your experiences, you either put them to good use, or you rise above them. I put mine to good use -when I should have risen above them [put them behind me -and grown, created new ones 🤷‍♂️]. 😔😏 There’s few things more damning than a person unwilling, a person unable to separate themselves from their own jaded past experiences. 4:29 a.m.

Some people always seem to want just a little more -THAT’S ME!
