#RelationshipRules (Snug Tight)


Twitter's hashtag, #RelationshipRules is interesting. With no interest of participating in a relationships, the interest snuggles in the if. The supposition. Presumption. What would be a rule for me (if I were interested)?

Well...

Someone who chooses water over soda; ale over liquor; wheat over white. These are examples, not deal breakers. Could I love someone who drinks soda? With certainty. Make a choice, however, which says, "I care."

Someone who (again, snug in the interest of supposing) sees me beyond thought or perspective and as an
addition to the sum of their life and not the sum. Indeed, the one I want to love must have inner love. Not narcissism or conceit. Who assesses the cost of self-esteem and pays only in the silent acts of wisdom. You know? The operation of passion.

Someone who lives life as an experience and
not a chore. These would be the foundation of my rule for relationships.

Until Next Time
