Why do we not want what we want?

What do we all want from a partner?

Someone who gives us all the attention and love in the world.

What is the biggest turn off when you are looking for one?

Someone who gives us all the attention and love in the world.

What we want is what also turns us off because we don’t want too much of it in the beginning.

When you like someone, you show interest. Unfortunately though, there is no universally accepted right amount of interest.

If it’s too little, the other doesn’t even know.

If it’s too much, then it becomes a turn off.

If it’s moderated & calculated, it becomes a game.

Nobody likes to play games. Yet everybody ends up moderating, calculating and procrastinating when they find someone who makes them nervous.

But the only way to do it right is be yourself.

If they don’t want someone who shows too much interest or too little interest, then it’s obvious they don’t want it. Whatever be the reason.

You don’t want to get your heart broken over a silly power game. There’s no way anything that begins as a game would end well.

People who like the chase will stop when the conquest is done. Yet, we encourage the chase.

I have found myself guilty of this too. The end of conflict is the end of the story.

This modern dating/gaming system is designed to get hearts broken.

So what do you do? It has nothing to do with how good or bad you look. Don’t take it personally. It’s just not your size.

Go back to the beginning & repeat till you find the right one. The extra large heart.

The best part of being a storyteller is that I always find a story to tell at the end of the day.

As artists, we are intrepid.

We know that the heart soldiers on. It needs no armour. Because the more it breaks, the stronger it gets.
