Adventurous?

One of my favorite songs contains the lyrics “With every broken heart we should become more adventurous.”

I suppose you could say I have used this as my mantra of sorts, diving in head first whenever I meet someone I am interested in, even if it means ignoring warning flags, or in some cases ignoring bright neon signs warning me of impending doom. After all, that’s what being adventurous means, right?

Well, I’ve been dating for twenty years now and must say that I’ve started to see a pattern emerge in my past relationships, especially in the last few. Leading me to question: at what point do I have to consider that maybe I have stopped being adventurous and have simply started being stupid?

Something to think about.
