The Fairer Sex

February 14, 2008

I have a great relationship with my younger sister, Deanna. She’s recently married and living in Kentucky now. I don’t see her much, but I talk to her on the phone quite often, a lot of times about nothing else but girls/relationships. Today she helped me come to some realizations. It’s kind of funny how sometimes, with some girls, you just move too slow, and with others you move way too fast. It’s really quite difficult to make the right move at the right time. Deanna also reminded me of the advice that I gave to her prior to her marriage, which is of course, that you are only able to control half of the total membership of any two person relationship which you belong to. In any relationship, you are the determining factor of that relationship’s success or it’s undoing. There never was a failed relationship that could not have been saved if but one of it’s members were to stop trying to change their partner, and start changing themselves.
