In our pursuit of Happiness we cross paths with those that leave an impact on our lives. We like to refer to them as our possessions, IE. "My Man" or "My Woman". Are they really ours to posses? Is it that we find something in these people that we are lacking in ourselves that keeps our attraction or do we look for those things "in common" we share that we eventually grow bored of because we can almost always assume the outcome. Are we afraid from the past failed relationship and settling for the closest thing to perfect because we have so much in common that we are afraid to challenge our patience and gain enlightenment through experiences that others have had and experiences that we share. It is said that, "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Are we stronger from all the baggage we are lugging around? Or do we become stronger when we realize that we should toss the luggage to the side and be more cavalier and throw caution to the wind and embrace the new and allow our hearts to be filled with that euphoric feeling of unsureness, causing butterflies in our stomachs whenever they come around, the constant overwhelming feeling of wanting to be in their company, second guessing ourselves, making sure we are putting our best foot forward. But how far should our foot protrude before creating a facade of the person we think others are looking for us to be without losing who we truly are? So now the question is are we happy with who we are and if so why are we afraid to reveal that person at the beginning of the relationship allowing them to decide if the union should be for a season a reason or a lifetime.
"We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves"
