No, not this one. Read this page. "Turn the Page" like that Bob Seger song that Metallica did? Yeah, that kinda Turn The Page. This is on screen, you can't turn the screen and it flips-- well maybe you can, i don't know. Point is, fool me... you can't be fooled again. (That cracks me up every time).
So you know how you just end up on your own sometimes and everything's great, but you meet someone and think, "Hmm... it would be cool if [this version of them] was around ALL THE TIME so we could do this [initial impression] stuff more!" Too soon? Hey, it's pretty accurate. Ever have people just fall for you because of you being you, and so you both try your hand at a "relationship" (everything's relationships but folks don't see it as that. You walking across the ground is a relationship, quite a few. You and consciousness. You and gravity. You and the ground. You and your senses...) and maybe somewhere dealing with a 3 or a 7 things get... different?
Ok, that weird 3 - 7 "relationship" thing, and keep in mind, this is me talking, a cartoon clown.... I'm not even from your reality completely, so take it with a few grains of salt and a lime... Dig it, You know how like how anywhere from 3 - 7 seconds of seeing someone you can tell if you're interested or if they are? You've also created in your head what would be interesting about them, which is what you would want from them, or how you see them. Somewhere between 3 - 7 minuets you're gonna talk or not. You're also going to think "sex" or "not sex". But you will gauge some sort of attraction by stimulation. There's a gut feeling about the energy there, or not there. Again, from 3 - 7 mins you can tell if there's gonna be anything worth sticking around for. You have your gut instinct about the whole thing, but you're going to either speak or not speak. Could be a person in line at a food place, could be someone sitting in a classroom or office, could be someone at the bus stop or train station... 3 - 7 mins, if you will actually know each other outside of your head and eyes. Talk or walk, or keep talking or start walking... when there's an opening because you've started a conversation and dear lord if they don't shut the fuck up you're gonna stab them in the face with their own face when you kick it. Between 3 - 7 hours you can tell if this time is it, and though you've had a very interesting and amazing time.... eeehh, "I'll call you."... or if things can and will go further and it's, "Here, call me." Between 3 -7 hours you can also honestly gauge how worth it it's gonna be, because in that time you've gauged compatibility, personality and who's in control or if it's a mutual "relationship" as friends, if you're going to skip the friends and just go deeper... you've gotten a sense of the electricity there. All of this is the initial spark, the first meet, so of course, over time, things fade. Everything is on a time limit when in skin. Everything has it's moment. That is what it is, dig me? So now it's been 3 - 7 days and you can see in that time what the future is really going to look like. You've seen a habit or vice at some point by then, and you'll shrug it off or shrug them off. You might have gotten a political or religious stance, or a spiritual sense. If you haven't in 3 - 7 days then it's just been a lot of sex or cat-fishing. You 're going to see some of the people you'll need to know in 3 - 7 days, who's REALLY important to them, it'll come up. A picture and a story, or a face to face... maybe a ride somewhere. You'll start to experience their world. If their world isn't your world, but they're your type of person, keep it as friends. You do not want to be stuck in a world that doesn't suit you. Sounds selfish until you snap because you were selfish and stuck your self in a world that didn't suit you. Here's an interesting point now... 3 - 7 months. The spark part is gone. It's the boring phase now. Still fun and interesting, but you've done quite a bit by now. You've learned quite a bit by now. You might want to leave by now. Figured this out in about 1/4 of a year. 1 season. In 3 - 7 months there as been something scary, something maybe tragic, something to celebrate, and some point where you've butted heads beyond it being cute and backing down to just remain cool. You've really shown you and really seen them in 3 - 7 months. If not, they're a psychopath, or sociopath or something. Don't go camping. Hide your credit information. Don't drink the punch at that "Home Church Gathering" unless, i mean, some folks are just into the mothership, ya know? Dig it. 3 - 7 months you've seen the platform that the future will be built on. It consider it like this, it won't get any realer than that. It may get better or worse, but that will only be an exaggeration or reveling in the freedom they discover or that is allowed or taken, which will only mirror how things have been up to this point. If they're a drunk, you'll see it, and if you stay, it's on you. If they're a slutbag, you'll see it. One of your friends will find that back-page add or whatever post or pic by then that was hidden from you. That kid in another state... you'll overhear that phone call or see the reaction to that text in 3 - 7 months. How they're sick and you're gonna spend a lot of time dealing with hospitals... it'll be there and underlined in 3 - 7 months. Everything is pretty well laid out. 3 - 7 years, if you ain't married then you are. Or you're leaving. Period. That's what that is. You're pretty built up and invested, but you're also pretty broken down and settled. One on the toilet, the other brushing teeth... been there, done that. You've got a cat. You've got a chair. You don't have your collection, unless it's in a box or "The Cave" which is YOUR space (away from US/OUR space). You've washed their undies. Your shirt is no longer yours. You have places, and songs, and words that will just trigger laughs or the most awkward of the omg's. You've figured out to keep that stuff in that drawer, and let no one know about it. You know where the cheez-its are stashed and how to make it look like you don't know where the cheez-its are stashed. You know alllllll the words to that song and move you hate. Maybe a tiny home, maybe "we've" (mostly you've) built the container home or prefab. Bills, check. Kids, maybe check.... you'd better check. They know where that thing is that's not where you put it, and they know why it moved but why did it move? "They don't know" and it's cool... even expected. OR... it is time to go. Well beyond time to go. Anything beyond 3 - 7 years doesn't matter. You might go to war, but when the show comes on you pause, enjoy the tostitos, and then back to war. Unless you die, or they die, you're almost set in stone. That time limit that everything is on? It's set to "long haul" which you've definitely done by now.
Now, at any time during all of that up there, if you have to go, or they have to go, remember that part about how everything is on a time limit? The vibe don't bounce forever in a place that ain't built to stand forever. What happens is folks get attached to little things which make the big things bigger, because you're in a place you don't need to be, so it's going to tell you more and more,, louder and louder, to go away. True, some things need work. Some things take time. But some things just need to be left alone. Folks get attached to a past feeling or thought, and it's because your mind (feelings and thoughts) are how your Spiritual is manifested into your physical reality, or how your physical reality manifests into your spiritual reality (your soul) people don't want to feel like they've failed. Sometimes it's a comfort level. You've just become co-dependent. You might even hate it, but they come in every friday with pizza, and who doesn't love Pizza date night?! YOU that's who. You can't stand it, but you don't know what else you'd do. Go find out. No one said taking a break isn't an option. Mature individuals can take that into consideration without seeming like a bitch or quitter. "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." -- Aristotle, or so it's said that he said. Having said, you can consider staying, and when you realize it's not for you, then that's ok. Some people stay for the other person or things you have between you. Your path is still your path. Your connections are still your connections. Got kids? Keep being there for your kids. Keep being there for your ex and the kids, but you and the ex are done, so let it be done. You can be friends. Remember that first 3 - 7 weeks? Friends? It's ok. At the start, middle, and the end of all of this one thing remains the same (or should have).... YOU ARE YOU. And YOU are the only one who is you and will be you in this whole thing. YOU need to do what YOU need to do for YOU because ONLY YOU will do that.
This applies to whatever type of relationship you have. Your drinking buddies. Your addictions. Your pets. Your apartment. Your tinder profile. Your mom. Yeah, your mom. Some moms will try to spoon feed you while folding your laundry in front of that person you brought to meet her. She'll make that ravioli shit you've hated but she loves cooking because she gets to use your Aunt Kathy's casserole dish she won at that spades tournament at church, but Aunt Kathy already had one, so who's the big winner now?! Yeah. Get out of the basement, off of the couch, and just get the fuck out. Sorry mom. Gotta be me. Me's been locked in a box trying to do the advice and please the people, or just not let the people down, but the people are on points on my path, and i'll leave those points and people. There are things that come up on my path, but i'm in motion, so some things will shrink in eh rear-view. It's all good.
As T.A.F.K.A.P. once said, "Dig if you will, a picture...." And this one's called the "Open Hand Philosophy". Yes, a frickin cartoon clown is having this discussion with you. Chillax you're doing just swimmingly. Grab a Mr. and Pibb it the fuck up, or Faygo long as the Daygo if you gotta, but this ain't gonna be too much longer. OPEN HAND PHILOSOPHY. Ok, hold out your hand. Open it up, palm up. See how it's open? You can receive now. So if i place a dollar in there, and you close your hand, you can't really see what you have in the detail you should. All you know is the initial meet and greet, when the dollar hit your hand and you closed up. You can't tell if it's fake or not.. unless you open up... and really see what you have, for what it is, nothing more, nothing less, while you have it. Also, if your hand is closed, you cannot receive more. Sometimes receiving less is what you need, for whatever it is you're holding onto to leave, but you can't do that if you're all closed up. It gets a deep as you want it to from there... I ain't getting into all of that. Stay open is the principle. Have what you have, when you have it, while you have it. When you don't have it, you didn't have it before, so it's not the first time and maybe won't be the last, and you might get it again just like you got it then.
