This hits home, Joy. I wonder how much time it takes for the dating mask to fall off. People/couples seem to have everything in the script and when they don't see it resemble the movies they make up in their minds, they feel like something is wrong with them.
Also, we seem to find it hard to step out of ourselves and see ourselves as we act out our roles in everyday. Sometimes, we fall short in showing our S/O that we are capable of being happy as we are because we constantly crave for that connection.
I know I am not making a lot of sense here... but I am having a hard time figuring out why there are times that you just feel distant and empty even in a very loving relationship. Some fluctuations of emotion? of positive energy and enthusiasm? I can't see it...
