Remember the classic lesson about sand in your palm? How you have to grip it a little so the wind won’t blow it away but not too much so you don’t squeeze them all out? Well I was talking to Lee about relationships and it suddenly hit me that we men are like that. We like our women to need us to give us that sense of importance, but when they become a little too possesive we run for our lives.

Does that make sense?

I guess men have this ego that tells them “we’re the boss don’t mess with us”. We can’t be caged, put on a leash, and so on. We want our freedom. Our women may worry, but that same freedom that lets us check out other women out there will always bring us home at the end of the day.

We are after all loyal puppies, we just want the illusion of liberty.
