ORIGINAL: Caretakr And when I bump up against walls and barriers, I start feeling around for cracks in the walls-it's very invasive. Now, in a vanilla relationship-this would be considered inapropriate. Which is why I don't pursue them. I'm not interested in being with someone I have to dance around all the time-and placate. If I'm going to dance-I'll lead. This is why I could not subscribe to the "Except me as I am" mind set. I want to change. I want to improve. I want to bring out the good stuff that has been hidden. Doesn't make it easy, by any means. I am fortunate to be matched up with someone who likes to dig this stuff out Developing property is fun, I hard limit people who want to hang onto bad habits, or bodies "because". The anaology I can draw is this. I buy a wooded lot,it's full of scrub, has holes in the ground, someone has dumped hills of trash on the thing. It's a mess-but it has potential. Now I would not be very happy living there in a tent,so I fire up the bulldozer. Scrape off and dump the trash and weeds, fill in the missing bits, and look at the raw "core". Now the land is not terribly happy at being reduced like this-but I have a plan for it. Cleaning up the place has given me a feel for it. I know what it's going to need now. First,we lay a foundation, then start building the structure from that. Before you know it, we have a house. good start..Then we decorate, fill in the grounds with landscaping-better and better. Pretty soon, the place is looking GOOD and the investment I made is really paying off. But if the land had said "NO NO NO!!!YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!!!!" I would have found another plot. I'd rather live in a mansion-than a shack.
