i guess that this is an opportunity to voice my opinion on some of the situations in my life...
simply put, im tired of people accepting mediocrity...
i had someone tell me the other day, "I dont see a reason to hurt or damage (i dont remember the word here) a good relationship"... this was said in reference to a conversation we were in the middle of having where it became evident that we were interested in each other on a more-than-friendship level... it puzzled me, but i let it go...
this is why it puzzled me... how do you accept good??? its like having a person place a perfectly prepared NY strip steak in front of you and saying, "thats okay, id rather have this 1$ double cheeseburger"...
ok that may be a bit of an extreme exxageration, but i think i get my point across... i for one will never be able to accept good, not when greatness is placed before me... call it ambition, call it determination, call it whaterver you feel like calling it... i call it getting what i am worth... i would hate for someone to feel like they are settling for me... just like i hate to see people settling... "but i was with him before i met you." SO??? there is obviously something that is not there, that you have developed this interest for me...
this is why i let it go... you are willing to accept good... i dont want someone that is willing to just take good... i want someone that strives for greatness in everything, including relationships... there is a reason why it is called "SIGNIFICANT" other... that person plays a significant role in your life... my thought on this is if the person you are with is not significant, and is not treating you with the level of significance that is congruent with your role in their life, then find someone who is SIGNIFICANT!!!
ok, im off my soapbox... ive been holding that in for days now...
