Phasin'


An article I read today about the five signs you're headed for a breakup suggests that "we all know [the honeymoon phase of a relationship] is the first 90 days of pure bliss." As my eyes passed over the words, I thought how absurd it is.

As of this exact moment, there are 6,801,094,099 people in the world. And just like the millions of snowflakes falling outside my window, no two persons are the same. Thus no two relationships are the same. So why would the first 90 days of all relationships be the honeymoon phase?

Surely, some honeymoon phases are shorter, others longer and some -- unless this is a total fairytale -- never end. Maybe there's even an occasional relationship without a honeymoon phase all together.

Just something to mull over...
