Have you ever been in a new relationship and it felt like you've known each other for years even though it's only been a very short time?
Then all of a sudden she/he said or did something that reminded you quickly of a bad experience you thought you'd forgotten.
While ruminating on that undesired perhaps unintended action, you decide to sabotage this great thing rather than take a chance on being hurt again.
We all view ourselves and our past experiences through our own set of lenses.
Often the way you view yourself is seldom the way others view you. Have you ever been with someone who you felt could see you, I mean really see you as you truly are?
When you view your present endeavors, through the lens of your past failures, you may be unknowingly sabotaging yourself and your future pleasures.
Not to say our guard or walls aren't erected for good reason, but by allowing each relationship/dynamic it's own discoveries, space, and time, we can enjoy or discard based on merit and not unresolved insecurities.
