Metaphorically speaking, before I get involved in any relationship, I am sitting under this beautiful tree with tasty fruits, enjoying the sun and whatever I am doing. I’m at peace with the world.

Then along comes someone who tantalises and attracts you and so you run after them so they can sit under the tree with you. But then as you start running, you get caught up in the chase and forget about your beautiful tree.
As they lead you into dark alleys and unfamiliar and strange places, you no longer want to be there but yet you’re unsure about how to get back and since you have come this far you keep going in the hope things will get better.

And then things come to a head where you lose them. Slowly you recover and find your way back to the tree, but then the cycle repeat. Was it worth it? 🙂
It’s amazing to me how much the biology is so influential in why this cycle repeats (and why we feel the desire to be with someone).
