I think one of the biggest mistakes I made in one of my most important relationships was Lack of Research. It's not as though I didn't try (God knows I did, #ImAnAquarius before-all. I study People.). Its that when I tried I was met with Barb Wired - Titanium Clasped - Made In China Igneous Rock Walls of Emotions, Pressurized - Mason Jar - Bottled up Feelings & Childlike - Reverse Psychology Excuses. See what had happened was: I let people get away with little things but those little things add up & become a big problem. Then as I try to correct said situations, my inability to shut down the small offensive behavior is thrown in my face. I didn't take my mother's advice, which was to *Look before You Leap*. I took a Leap of Faith that I brood over Every Day Since. Please don't get what I'm expressing wrong; I don't regret this "Experience". Just like all intense relationships: When it Rains, it Pours. So when its Good its Really Good & when its Bad its Really Bad. What bothers me is that I let someone in before they let me in, I let someone beat me at my own tactic. I was studied, drawn in then manipulated under Opportunistic Pretenses. & That's not Cool. That's Unethical & Immoral. https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5DsDKAxq3dQCzqbQjvqaMNDOhgvpqL88VHXI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gmbu1j8r8wo
