"Our primary relationship is really with ourselves... Our relationships with other people constantly reflect exactly where we are in the process." -Shakti Gawain
And, in a 'huh' kind of way, I was somewhat surprised to note that I have a fairly strong twinge at the word 'life-long'. And, in investigating my brain, that seems to apply to _everything_. I apparently don't expect anything to be life-long, ever. Me wonders if that has something to do with how much I expect to continue changing, based on past experience, and perhaps with a certain amount of distrust of other people sticking around.
Weird. And interesting. I shall have to keep a mental eye on that reaction, to see how/if it changes.
*simultaneously bouncy and tired today*
