There are several dances we do in life. I think the greatest dance we have the opportunity to tango to is the dance of love. It stirs every single emotion inside us.
Think about it. If you love someone, or even something, when you look at it, touch it or interact with it in anyway, it will, without a doubt stir a emotion in you. It can range from anger, jealousy, happiness, to alas that thing we call love.
It is the one thing that touches every part of you. Emotionally, physically, mentally, you name it you will be touched by it.
It is the one emotion that regardless who you are, saint or monster, that every human being seeks to find. The one dance that we all want to step onto the floor and do.
It is also, the most terrifying dance of our lives. The one that we fear the most.
Once again, I have met a new partner to try this dance out with. It scares the hell out of me. Learning to feel safe and loved with another human being. Knowing that she is the one person who can do that, BUT, at the same time, can be the one person I can feel unsafe and unloved with. This could be of my own doing, which in the past has been the case, or it just could be that she may find she doesn't want to dance anymore with the same partner.
I will face this fear. I do not want this to be the dance I miss out on or regret dancing to.
Here I go, holding my breath and taking the first step ...

Wow. You remind me that I had better write something soon.
Love is great; relationships are hard. That's when love becomes a verb.
There are 2 people in the dance. Nothing is ever the fault of one person. Both contribute to failure or success. We are all doing our best with what we got. No one teaches us how to keep a relationship intact.
Seems like too often more people try to dance the dance with us. I think that's when the dance is hard or cumberson.
That's interesting. When people get to be a pain in the ass times the power of 1000, one often has to make a choice: those folks or the relationship. Choose what makes you feel whole and happy.
Just what I plan on doing my friend!
