Alas, I got it wrong this time 'round. And what I fear (although the admittance of such might be a self-fulfilling prophecy...) is that my destiny lies suchly. Despite the fact that I embrace the fears from my past, it would seem that merely acknowledging them does not necessarily dispel them. On the other hand and from a practical standpoint, I witness my family and peers in relationships that are fraught with struggle, deceit, exaggeration, and disappointment. Is it any wonder that I shy from commitment on a subconscious level???
Indeed, I must admit that my ideas regarding man/woman affairs revolve around unrealistic expectations built into me by the media.. but do they really??

We can't seem to break free of those ubiquitous, invasive, happy-ever-after scenarios conjured up by romance novelists.
We know from a biological standpoint that all of those hornymone induced pair-bonding bouts of delerium wear off and then it is a matter of making a conscious decision to keep that relationship vibrant. In this throwaway world of instant gratification that isn't exactly eveyone's cup o tea.
Still, the messages keep coming and we dream of having our little Harlequin moments...sigh...what are ya gonna do?
we go kick some ass, take names, and then settle in for a good wine!
