I think we can't help who we're attracted to, and depending on how in tune with yourself you are, by choosing the ones we do...sometimes we create our love affairs, and sometimes we discover them.

I know, it seems like a total non-answer. But it's hard to describe. I guess what I'm trying to say is that some seek out people whom they know they'll have a certain kind of relationship with, some people start with the idea of the relationship they want and look for someone to fit it, and others have an idea of what they want...and it all goes out the window when they meet someone.

For me, it's deja vu. It's always new, yet like a favorite sweater.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
