Have you stayed up countless nights tossing and turning, considering what you were and weren’t getting from the person lying beside you?
Have you ended (many) relationships
on the gamble that there was someone better suited for you? Someone more
artistic, someone more intellectual, someone more established, someone
different…
It isn’t crazy to have
questions and curiosities when the honeymoon period ends,
when the realities of a relationship
sets in, so why is the thought of ‘settling’ the scariest thing in the
realm of love?
Do you think it’s scary because it goes against the culture messaging that we have received
that there is a “soul mate” out there for you, that there is a “perfect”
person, or that if you kiss enough frogs you will find the “one?”
Settling. It's more about you, then them. Unless you're coming from a place of empathy. I believe we are meant to take care of certain people in this world. They are 'our' people... our responsibility. You spend your 20's and 30's being very careless with people. But if you evolve and develop empathy... suddenly you start seeing those who need you. And as much as they need you? You need them more.
