Food inspires me.
As I was talking to a friend today, I said something and didn't realize how true it was until I said it. (Do you ever have moments like that?)
I said, "You shouldn't expect to eat if you didn't bring anything to the table."
Too many times, I hear people run off a laundry list of standards for a potential mate when they themselves do not come close to meeting those qualities. I don't think it's fair or wise to expect your mate to bring in 6 figures when you're work place is the couch. You shouldn't say you want someone who's smart and can hold down a great conversation when the only interesting thing you talk about is the perplexing ending to the Hills finale or whether or not Kourtney should stay with Scott.
Relationships are like potlucks. If you bring something, you have every right to expect something scrumptious in return. But, no one likes the person who just shows up, mouth open, hands empty.
Grab a fork and let's eat.
Love freely,
tY
