"What I want most from others is what I’m not giving myself."
This very clearly illustrates a conversation I have been having with myself about the people I seek out for romantic relationships. The people that I am the most attracted to have very similar qualities - to the point where I will often have awkward deja vu moments that make me feel a little bit disoriented. In particular, I am attracted to people who are driven to create, to leave a mark, to make a difference in some way.
When I first started thinking about this I thought that perhaps I was lacking some sort of drive or ambition and have been looking for it in other people. That assessment never felt right to me and as I continued to think about it I came to the conclusion that is has to do with inspiration of which drive is just a by-product.
Not only do these people inspire me, they are uniquely inspired, and I really jive off of that energy. I’m able to fold it into me and energize myself with it. I’d like to see if I can create that kind of energy on my own so that I can perhaps see the people I desire more clearly.
