Everyone's got their chains to break

I was talking to a guy the other night and asked him what he wanted out of a relationship. His answer was simple.

"No Strings"

Maybe I have it all wrong but to me there are always strings. No man is an island and all that. Some are as light as gossamer. Some are as heavy as chains. The thing you have to discover is which strings you want in your life and which ones you won't tolerate.

I want strings.

I want strings like caring, respect, honor, friendship. I want strings of history and memory and shared experiences.

For me, strings are the threads that make up our lives.
