Truth about a Person

What do we really know about people? Are they good, are they bad, is everything always so black and white? So many questions that we can ask about the person we are dating or friending. What are the key questions that you should ask? Is there a cornerstone amount of time we need to spend. Most believe you truly don't know a person until about 6 months.

Hell yes this is true! Take it from me. I went from the damn honeymoon phase of a relationship to the I want to kill myself and gauge my eyes out phase only a few short months after. Take your time people! The best things come in time and there is no point in rushing into something just because it feels good RIGHT NOW! What about the right now in 8 months? 10 years? There is a huge difference in the RIGHT NOW of those time periods. By huge I mean tremendous, so large it baffles even the greatest of scientists trying to figure out the chemical mis-balances of the honey moon phase.

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't change my past or re-do it all over again. You live by your experiences, you learn from them, and you move on. Life would be extremely boring without those experiences so why not live them up.

Back to the question at hand. It takes a hell of a long time to know someone. Most likely more the 6 months as well. You can live with someone your whole life and never truly know them. You know what they like how they act but what is deep down in their innards you may never ever find out. Why, why you ask?

Most people do not open up. We are a society filled with mental cases that keep everything bottled up until they speak to their therapist. Sometimes the therapist is the best friend those people have. This is a good thing, I guess. How do you think that person you just spent the last 6 months with is going to feel if they know that you don't open up to them. What makes you ever believe that you would be worth staying with after that knowledge has been spilled?

People, listen up closely. Stop prancing around with your shield and armor up. That person lying next to you doesn't care that you have issues, they wouldn't be there next to you if they didn't already suspect something. Open up, even if its a little at a time. Tell one little story at a time and ease that person into it. Trust me, you will thank me for it later!

Alright people, I have bantered on enough. This is not a huge topic but its great to be back after a 9 month hiatus. I bid you adieu.
