I was talking to a friend last night about not rushing into relationships. I’ve done that before and it usually ends in disaster but the temptation to do it over and over again is almost irresistible.
My main argument was that relationships are like recipes, if all the right ingredients are there, why not just start chowing down. After sleeping on it I woke up with a fresh perspective. Sometimes ingredients need to come together and simmer to truly bring out the flavor and the best qualities of each other.
Similar to making cookies or brownies from scratch, sure the dough or the batter tastes amazing, but it’s not until you’ve baked them to perfection and enjoy them with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk that you truly appreciate the flavor.
It’s hard to resist chasing what you want especially when it seems like this is what you’ve searched for your entire life, could this be the greatest meal ever? It can be if you take the time to bring everything together with great care and attention.
Time reveals everything, pros and cons, flaws and frailties and gives you the chance to really come together with someone and know each other completely. It also give you the chance to see if there’s any crazy lurking around the closet.
Do they have a crazy bunny boiling ex, baby momma/daddy drama, an addict relative that will try to steal something every time they come to visit? Time will tell.
