Calm Before The Storm

Am I just not seeing the signs?

New relationships always seem to start with a peaceful calm - the honeymoon period; though as I venture deeper into them, I’ve always faced storms… that’s not to say I’m surprised or alarmed, but merely me noting a pattern/consistent trend.

So I am not seeing the signs? Repeating the same actions and expecting different results is a madness… so why do I?

My part in Calm Before The Storm, a song that was made in collaboration with Sydney rapper Aurelius, represents the turmoil of relationships, whilst also being a turning point in my life, the realisation of the fact that I can’t continue in these same relationship patterns.

These relationship patterns are destroying me.

It’s not all on my partner. I am also to blame. I’ve been stupid with some of the relationships and situations I’ve allowed myself to get into. I’ve been in situations where what is expected from me is not being reciprocated, relationships where I’ve dated on potential, friendships where it’s just me putting in the effort, and I endured all these occurrences and more in order to keep the peace, the calm. Not realising that in all these situations, the storms that came were inevitable and I was only prolonging the Calm Before The Storm.
