Wedding is off
Oct. 27th, 2003 08:52 amJohn is Confused. Raine is confused. John is not happy with the person he's been for the last month. Lessons:
1. Saying "It's moving too fast" is actually "I'm not ready" in disguise.
2. Just because you're exhausted doesn't mean you shouldn't listen harder.
3. There are a LOT of sticking points moving up to a marraige.
Specific lessons:
1. Figure out what you want. State it clearly. Be willing to negotiate.
2. Weddings are hard. Moving in when you're a control freak is harder.
3. The question of how much you'll change to chase a dream...leads to dangerous non negotiations.
Whines:
1. ALL expectations are unrealistic unless you're a mind reader. Put it on the table.
2. Making a decision without including someone is a sure way to bring out negative behaviour in them.
3. Not being married on the first date pass does not invalidate the wedding...but does increase the need for communication.

I need some new music. I'm in a rut. Any suggestions?

Last Saturday at 1 AM I found myself at Tyr_Salvia's house. I got lost and ended up there. I almost knocked on the door...don't know why.
