If you engage in lust, you usually get the best of a person first, and then the worst of them shortly after. When you shortcut the process of getting to know someone, rush things, jump into bed too quickly, or meet someone through a dating app, you have to understand that most of the time, people are operating from a place of need. And when you meet someone else who's also operating from a place of need, two needy people rarely create something whole. You rarely find an A-player. You find a substitute. So if you don't want a lot of drama in your life, don't rush the process of getting to know someone. Slow down. Watch how they behave. See who they are when they don't need anything from you. Because anything built from a place of need will eventually leave you feeling empty. #Relationships #DatingAdvice #Lust #SelfAwareness #EmotionalIntelligence MindfulDating Dating RelationshipsAdvice PersonalGrowth SelfDevelopment ConsciousRelationships UnfilteredWisdom
