Life and love are both lived and learned. Not taught.

I think it's about compromise.

But how do we find mutual ground with so much pent up aggression about the things we think, yet never say?

So I was mowing my mommas grass this morning and thinking about this

I think it boils down to

1. Open communication without retaliation

2. Finding a common ground that benefits both, with minimal distain of the part you sacrifice for the better cause.

Two people who have a common love for each other, must learn compromise. Practice patience and above all, master compromising diplomatically.

I'm on my soapbox so let me finish.

Passion is great. But when you are fueled by emotions it can lead to disaster.. (sometimes those are fun and necessary).

Main point is, to remain civil. Despite passionate feelings and hateful past resentments, you must stay clear in the NOW.

Look at what's in front of you and why it's there.

Why did we argue about blah blah?

... think about it.

Why did we scream?

.. think about what was said to make it blow up.

Why aren't we together?

... now reflect.

There are reasons for all of life and it goes in cycles.

The truth lies there. When your alone. Mowing the damn knee high grass with a 12 yr old lawn mower without an iPod.

The best thing I've ever done in a relationship is take a walk.

To think.

To clear my head.

To act on impulse, 99% of the time imo is detrimental.

What are your thoughts?

Is love a state of mind.. blinded by infatuation,sexuality and desire? Or is it a mutual partnership?

Or both?
