I tend to overlook Red Flags, when the wish list gets long, but eventually this too will pass.
I haven't been around much. I've been busy working and having fun again.
I admit this list isn't fair. But I know that when I don't make lists, I tend to compromise or ignore things about people, because I want to believe the best about people. I can hope in one hand and count the red flags in the other, just to see which one fills up faster.
