Lots of Scattered Thoughts
First and foremost, if anyone knows the answer to this please let me know. If i have someone on my friends list but I'm not on their friends list does that mean that they can read my semi-private stuff but I can't read their semi-private stuff?
There is a fantastic song out there by John Mayer entitled "Another Kind of Green" which I recommend to everyone. I would like to highlight a few lyrics from that song:
"When nothing has changed and nothing's wrong
You're not the perfect hand
But I don't hit on nineteen
And I don't need another kind of green to know
I'm on the right side
I'm on the right side with you
With you"
This song is really important in my life and my relationship for a number of reasons. One of the most important lessons that everyone needs to learn as they mature is that rarely if ever will you get the "perfect hand" especially when it comes to love and relationships. For some reason everyone is out there looking for the "perfect" person. Too often we will pass up a person who actually likes us who is close to perfect in order to keep the dream alive for that "perfect" person. What I've learned is that we shouldn't be looking for the "perfect" person but the person who is "perfect" for us. To me that means that we should look for the person who is as fucked up as we are because although some of us find it hard to believe none of us is perfect. This song touchs upon that beautifully.
The other major point that this song makes is that we don't need "another kind of green to know that we are on the right side". This means that we don't need to experience other people/things in order to know that what we have is great and special. This was the hardest lesson for me to learn. I made a number of mistakes during high school and college where the "what if" mentality never let me fully focus on the person that I was with. My curiousity which I consider to be one of my greatest assets was and still is to some extent one of my vices. I really couldn't control myself sometimes. I just had to know how someone kissed. I just had to know what sounds a person made when they came. I just had to know.
