Okay, how 'bout if I said "Do me like I ain't ever been done before, stranger-man." Of course, the problem is how's the stranger supposed to know how I ain't been done before? Unfortunate fantasy paradox.
Sorry, sister, this isn't a fantasy paradox... this is a vulnerability issue.
Same way when I find a cool recipe in all the recipes available in a given cook book... sounds good on paper... but now I have to MAKE it.
Did this just last night, as a matter of fact. I THOUGHT I followed the recipe as it said... and it was quite tasty... not the best I've ever had... good, certainly. I could let the recipe fall off my radar and never think about it again, now that I've had it. But... man, does it have POTENTIAL... given that I am willing to experiment and try new things when I cook.
For me to experiment with the recipe, at this point, will require my willingness to fail (vulnerability). If I am not willing to fail, or have it taste any less that what I have already experienced... I will move on.
The recipe's potential is now weighed against my willingness to invest my emotional time and energy IN it. If it has a good foundation... if it doesn't...
