Finding l.u.x.u.r.y in the little things (and smirking at all the r.e.s.t)

"The less routine, the more life."

People in general have the power to amaze, inspire, baffle, and fascinate me, all at the same time. Each and every one of us possess our own little individual characteristics that make us who we are, but the catch twenty two is...it is those same characteristics that also seem to separate us from those who we want to be. Or, better said, want to be with. But perhaps even more importantly, a person's particular personality traits are so deeply ingrained in his/her being, that it becomes impossible to be anything else than what we are. So ultimately, I'm forced to wonder if maybe, just maybe, we have no control over who we turn out to be, what we like to do, and who we like to spend our time with. And if that's the case, then if we try to control and suppress our true selves in an attempt to be someone else, the final outcome is, I suspect, much worse than it ever would have been if we had simply let our own desires, feelings and thoughts shine through from the beginning.

Maybe, just maybe, doing so is the real key to avoiding all disappointment, frustration, resentment and hurt when it comes to the world of building new relationships. But hey-- you win some, you lose some, right? What's important is that you learn in the process; learn about life, learn about yourself, and sometimes you even learn that things you always thought were true, aren't.

We can't be everyone's someone.

...We can only belong to ourselves.
