And so I think when you can get to a place of really looking at everything in your life as a lesson, you do end up then having more empathy for everybody and more love for everybody in return because...
people are not there just to piss you off, right?
Like, I don't think that's people's goal.
I think really what life is doing is if someone is pissing you off, it's because they're trying to shine a light on what you need to work on.
I mean, hence, you know, we always talk about triggers.
Triggers are there to show you what you need to work on.
So anyways, but I think, okay, but her question really is, what's the difference between infatuation and romantic love?
And so...
I have gotten confused by infatuation far too many times.
I think really what happens is, I think they say infatuation is anywhere from three to six months.
And then, you know, so I have taken this stance in the last few years that I am not allowed to
say I love you to make long-term plans with anyone, introduce them to my kids, like nothing for the first six months because I am someone who gets very excited when I like someone because it is so rare that I am attracted to someone.
So when I do, I am infatuated by it and I'm like, I'm like fully consumed by it.
I've said I love you to people I probably shouldn't have.
I've made long-term plans.
I've done all of the things because I've been confused in the beginning between infatuation and love.
I'd say I've actually only been in love probably three, maybe four times.
That
high school boyfriend.
And you could maybe argue Johnny, my eighth grade boyfriend, my first, you know, like really serious boyfriend.
