getting smarter

The title of this post may be somewhat misleading. But there are days when I feel like I've learned something about relationships and the way that other people think and how to be less of a jackass. But I'm pretty sure that if I start to feel like I know something I'll just get laid flat, blindsided by something I haven't yet figured out.

I wonder how cautious one should be. I do realize that my level of disengagement might be somewhat unproductive, but I also think it's a self-preservative instinct that I'm grateful for. I just wonder how to move myself beyond that wall. Maybe it will just happen when the right person comes along.
