| Message | I agree, I'm a believer that when it happens, it happens, and just enjoy the ride in the meantime. They say that the worst thing you can do is be with the wrong person; out of fear of loneliness, and I can say this, despite most of my friends being engaged, married, or in serious relationships. life isnt meant to be race....haste makes waste.
In response to your seemingly rhetorical question about "what are you left with after the fire dies out"...well I happened to ask my father the same question recently, he responded by saying "yeh the fire is great, but after a while (30yrs+) that fades as you get older, but what you're left with is a companion, a best friend who you has stood by you through thick and thin, I can't imagine going through life without someone like that (being the stubborn guy he is I don't blame him either). Of course there will people couples whose relationships break down, others will persevere....i guess that will depend on how much you really get to know the person before that knot is tied, after all, you do have your sister and her new husband to look to as role models.
Lastly please forgive me for this rather sudden intrusion into this literary extension of your sub-conscious, however I was pulled away early and thus was not to introduce myself at your sister's wedding last saturday night, but as chance would have it, I found this blog, read your insightful posts and could not help but provide some perspective, whilst trying not to seem creepy : |
