You’re not the boss of me.
Rebel, Rebel, Realize
Now, before you imagine this as a conversation with a boss, spouse, or child.
I must admit it to be between me, myself, and I. Yes, I believe I am mentally healthy, lol.
Perhaps a Gemini trait, who knows. But all too often, I worry about what you might think instead of what I need. Resulting in argument with myself.
Never mind about arguing with myself.
Oh my, did I use the “N” word.
Damn straight skippy.
NEEDS
I have them, like any other afraid to ask for fear of looking like a weak person!
No cause to alert the media, hardly “Enquiring Minds” material.
Putting aside the me, myself, and I debates, pretty much the norm for all I suspect.
The rarity is evident when I make mention with you more than once without positive results. As if I’m not heard, or I don’t matter.
Is that a fire alarm, or is my mind trying to rein me in? Oh, lord, a new debate.
Am I high maintenance, or are you selfish?
Damn, does it ever end?
Life is complex, and the secret sauce for relationships requires not a master chief, but the art of patience, equality, compassion, and respect.
For I am not needy, and you are not selfish. I need to see through your eyes, and you hear through my ears.
The word partner seems to reflect different things to different people.
Keeping it simple, it’s two people in a relationship that is more than just transactional.
When we look at romance, the aforementioned words are just the baseline for consideration, aren’t they?
The secret ingredient is no secret at all.
Unconditional Love!
Add in a pinch of open, honest, respectful communication.
And you have a heavenly dish fit for the gods.
Unlike those entities, we are not perfect, not one of us. So, forethought and consideration must be engaged.
I am embarrassed to tell you how often I have been lacking in these many areas when I sideskirt the self-debate.
I have had to teach myself to trust this individual despite all the history my mind presents.
That doesn’t mean you become a punching bag or a wallflower. Merely that you pull your relationship weight every moment of the day.
Is there anything of higher value than true love?
Me, myself, and I will not be debating that question!
