dysfunctional relationships.

The thing about your own business that kills you is you are always thinking of ways to push it. You are always thinking of how to improve, what you did wrong, what opportunity you missed. And I am not sure that part of the brain can ever turn off, or will ever go away.

Man, actually, I guess that's why starting a small business is kind of like starting a new relationship, you can't get it off your brain. Only in this relationship, the money is the heart and the heart is the money. Both hurt REAL bad when they are lost.

In business and in love, you start things out slowly, if you're smart. Or jump in head first without
research, if your not. Both have an equal chance of failing (or working) so who really cares. no formula.

Let's say you start slow. Meet the man, already know what you want in a relationship, what your criteria is, what you want to get out of it, how much you want to invest in this love, your "business plan" let's say!

Or you meet a guy, you get this wild whim of an idea, thoughts of grandeur and you just get to vegas asap, that's the "nonbusiness plan" affair. But either way you have chosen to jump into love (or money) sometimes you will have fights and sometimes he won't hold his own, he won't pay for your dinner for years, he'll get you soooo high and in love then he will make you feel like the world is over.

This is love. Or is it business? Or are they both dysfunctional relationships? Can it just be easy and perfect?

Lets just say this business of mine, this punkster, is my relationship. this is right about the time in a relationship, that I would bail. "I'm sorry babe, you stress me out, you take my money, you don't give me anything in return. Though, you doooo look good in the magazines! But really I need to find a real man (job) that will provide for me and keep me stable and happy and one that loves me back."

But maybe I should stick this one out, maybe he(punkster) loves me and we are simply on rocky roads.

kind of a long distance thing.

Is India long distance enough?

Maybe we will break up. Or maybe we will stay together forever.

Maybe someday it will be like looking back on old love.
Even though they didn't work out, they were quite the adventure, and quite the education. or maybe punkster will love me forever. who knows.

in love and business, you can do whatever you do to make it work out the best possible, but in the end, you really don't know what will work and how it will work, and how long the honeymoon will be. but though it is give and take and hard and wonderful all at the same time, it is your passion, and you can not ignore your passion and be fully alive. in any of life's dysfunctional relationships.

There are certain things you must ulimately do to make a relationship (business plan) work or, despite the passion, it won't.
