rather than mine alone, it's ours together

I get so caught up in my head (haha if you haven't noticed) but

today as I was working, the ideas from yesterday when at home just kind of matured and bubbled

and when I came home today I thought about the fact that I am alone and instead of

just thinking about my own satisfaction, to quiet the yearnings in me that are so sybaritic and instinctive at times,

I thought again about challenging that inclination of just blindly filling myself up with things and actions

and not questioning myself. I thought about what I like, and I thought about what others or might like.

I think when you merge with someone in a relationship - it's really about two people - not either or, or, neither nor.

You get to have your own style - respected by the other party - and they get to have theirs as well. Does this make sense? I am not feeling so monolithically blocking of others' influence in my life because I know what I like.

There have been powerful influencers in my life that I have been worried about. I think it's just time to keep open

about life and respective of that idea....rather than mine alone....it's ours together. :)
