I was watching Oprah one time. It was some show on relationships and she said, “Usually who you date brings up all of your issues and like if you understand that you can do a lot better in the relationship, but the person you’re going to be attracted and drawn to is going to somehow bring up all your issues” and that’s how I feel about this [relationship] thing. It’s just like something that brings up all my issues that I would just rather not deal with, you know?
