Relationships are about stories, not truth. Alone, as individuals, we each have our own personal mythologies, the stories we tell in order to make sense of ourselves to ourselves. That generally works fine as long as we stay sane and single but the minute you enter an intimate relationship with another person there is an automatic dissonance between your story about yourself, and their story about you.

Yes, and I wonder what happens when each becomes aware of the dissonance…will a story emerge? 🙂

The power it could have combined with true love? Like movie romance and old-fashioned relationship endurance-magic!
