The Guessing Game of Relationships

What is it about relationships that keeps us guessing?
Is it that we want them too bad?
Is it that we are not sure what to do or say?
How could we be so sure in other area's of our lives and then not in a relationship?

It stems from us simply not being sure about being loved
We are not sure how it looks or feel like we can relax in it
We feel like it takes time for us to be "ourselves" rather than just being ourselves
It is funny how we judge ourselves before anyone has a chance to judge us

We know what it is like when we meet someone
And they are relaxed and because of that, we are attracted to them
They don't have to "act" relaxed, they just are
You don't even care what they look like or what they are wearing
You are attracted to their comfort with themselves that you will love initially and grow to love more along the way

We think it is what we wear that day or circumstances, when we say, this happened and I was just...meaning you were caught off guard just being yourself

Our instincts attract us to each other when we are real
When we are not relaxed within ourselves, we try to control the outside of us
With our clothes,
Clever comments
Moments of thinking we have won something
We don't win anything for long if we are not true to our lives and live in the truth of us

I know there is so much to be said for physical appearance
At least initially
And for a great car, or home
At least until you own it
Or a wonderful job,
As long as you love it
However we tend to forget those things when we are not feeling great
And use those things when we feel on top of our game

Yet you are not a game
You are a person
Whose heart is attractable and loving
And could stand on it's own if you let it
And could bring to you all that you want, if you let it

We can not control with our things what to bring to us from others
We can simply be us and attract others who like the us of us
And we can breath in the moments that teach us it is OK to think cleanly
And greater even to live in the life with the lights on
And to feel accepted no matter what

The only time we are not accepted is when we do not accept ourselves
Compassion for yourself is the foundation of love of you
And the love of you is the love that brings others to you
Everyone loves to feel love, and when you feel it, you can see it too!
