fireworks...

i am very proud of a man that can multitask...

relationships take hard work. between scheduling conflicts and compromise, it takes an insane amount of effort to keep them healthy, functioning and enjoyable.

i've learned that patience is more than a virtue.  it's definitely a hidden commandment.
thou shalt not break his neck when he forgets to call me back, nor shall he break mine if and when i think he's sleeping with someone else just because he forgot to call me back.  learning another human being is like climbing mount everest ... you will slip, fall or even die but you can make it if you take your time and you have the right equipment.  and i've heard, there's nothing quite like the feeling you have when you reach the top.  i guess it's the equivalent of falling in love, not that i would know anything about that...

although you want to keep the other person entertained and interested, relationships happen when you're doing everything but that.  when you're lounging on the couch or watching a movie or he's on his laptop while you're reading a magazine, your relationship is evolving.  the ability to be yourself and enjoy another person while they're being themselves is pretty amazing.  to me, when the fireworks simmer down, that's when the real show begins.
