I totally disagree.
It's gotta be jasmine tea or nothing!!
Lynx, thank you for acting as my interpreter. I wasn't trying to be the Doom and Gloom of the forum. What I was trying to say is, I love the idea of potential like anyone else. I love the idea of being in love.
But I also think that's why so many marriages break up--people are looking for potential--basically, a dream, and when it doesn't live up to what they think their potential should be, they move on, and that's why I feel it's so important to consider the realities of life right along with the whimsical.
I miss doting on someone. I miss surprising him and paying attention to minute details about what he likes or doesn't like and demonstrating that I've worked hard to pay attention to who he really is. I miss saving my dollars to surprise him with something he really wants or would help HIM reach his full potential (an artist's set, a class he's interested in, a sporting event he'd love to go to--and since I'm not into sports, I figured I'd save up and buy two tickets so he could take his best friend--someone who would really be able to enjoy the game with him.)
In truth, I'm much happier now than when I was in bad relationships, which was all I knew. But of course... if the right relationship were to come along... I would hope I'd be wise enough to recognize it and accept it, both the good and the bad.
