Have you ever had a conversation with someone and they shared with you their impression of another person - you then meet the said person and you get a different impression? How much of the difference is due to what we bring out in others? Who are we in relation to others - what we release in them and empower them to be? I have been thinking about this lately - how can I bring out the beauty and greatness in others?
On the other side of the argument is the disparity between what certain people bring out in me as well. I went on a date the other day and at the end of the night I was convinced I was a really boring person. I'm not boring. This guy, who is really great mind you, and I did not bring out the most exciting things in each other on this date though. No harm on either part, but a realization that we may not be the best combo. On another date I laughed a lot, felt wonderfully awkward and intriguing. I like that.
Note to self - date the boys that unveil your favorite characteristics

This is the key to life, Miller! It's all about the situations you put yourself in. I was talking to Nick this morning about how I dreamed of having a conversation with a girl who understood the language I wanted to use. Not having to "Dumb it Down" as I have for many of my past choices as mates. You have to be free to be 100% Leah. You don't want someone who forces you to work to hard, or to restrain at all. The hard part is knowing when this is happening to you and taking action. Accepting that it's not there and moving on, or acknowledging that it might be and moving forward.
It would be nice if I had a life of my own to apply my wealth of knowledge to, but running yours from however many thousands of miles away is a nice substitute! LOL. Thanks for not telling me to shove it, like you should!
Love,
Aaron
My self-talk take-away is that if someone makes you lose your appetite and only want to listen to Damien Rice, and there's no end in sight, it may be time to bail.
