sure! but maybe.

old habits die hard.

i always champion using your head
when it comes to deciding things in life.
particularly when it comes to relationships.

you have to seek excitement,
you have to seek a kindred spirit,
you have to seek compatibility.

remember the good old days?
when we were younger and carefree?
what did we base our hearts on?

we went for someone that we found attractive,
we went for someone who made us happy,
we went for someone out of pure, raw feelings.

now? we wonder if they have the same beliefs.
we wonder if they have the same ambitions,
we wonder if they fit into our vision for life.

i'm starting to think that this is a hindrance
rather than something that helps.
does anyone else feel the same way?

sure, we can expect someone to share beliefs,
we can expect some kind of level in ambition,
but can we fit into THEIR vision instead of ours?

if so, does that mean we're clouded
by our own expectations and hopes?
and does that make us selfish, i wonder.

perhaps it's time to throw caution to the wind,
to let ourselves go and follow our heart instead,
to take the huge risk, that's what relationships are.

...assuming they'll be as clean and organized at home.

see? old habits die hard.
