I should be working right now, I know, but this has been on my mind of late. I've noticed in little (thankfully) instances how easy it is for us to push each other's buttons. We know so much (and yet so little) about each other that we know exactly how to strike the right nerve. Or is it the wrong nerve? Either way, it scares me. Right now we can keep our tempers just fine, but sometimes, in little moments, we'll slip. My fear? The day we get too comfortable with each other. When that little moment of a lapse of self-control, turns into an argument, turns into a fight, turns into a huge issue. This could just be me making a mountain out of a mole hill (it's happened before), but I can't help that it makes me a bit weary. The feeling, like a small tug at my heart, that I get in those moments scares me, because I don't want that tug to become repetitive. I don't want those tugs to cause a tear. I don't want that tear to be irreversible....
At least the feeling scares me. I'd be scared if it didn't.
