Square Dancing with Giants
What do you expect out of the people you meet? your standards and what you look for in them.
These days? Honesty. Respect. The grace to be an imperfect creature. I want love, but don’t expect it, per se. Too often, I actually expect people to hurt me. I expect to be used as a means to an end. I didn’t used to be that way, though. Really, I didn’t. As I got older, I started to see the ways in which people, including myself, can treat relationships like business transactions. Like an exchange of products. Bodies, emotions, time, the list goes on and on.
I don’t want to (have to) expect that anymore. I’m learning to trust again. I’m trying.
