As
with most adults, I've had my fair share of experiences in the world of
love. Once again, as with many adults, mine have ranged from bad to
worse to nightmare, and everything in between! Don't get me wrong, I've
had good experiences, too. It's a shame I can count all the good ones on
my one hand!
Personally,
I've just begun the long journey of discovering myself. It's been a
long road so far, and it's going to last the rest of my life. Hooray for
that? Anyway, I've come to realize that finding oneself is a lifelong
journey. Hey, my stepmother's still trying to find herself, and she's...
well, let's not get into ages here. I'd like to live to see tomorrow!
There
was one experience I had that happened last year. I fell in love with
this one guy, and was under the notion that he completed me. Boy, was I
ever wrong! Needless to say, I clung to him for dear life since I didn't
know any better, and the relationship fizzled shortly after the year
mark. Looking back, I've grown so much since that break up! I'm
currently with an amazing guy whom I love dearly, and I've never felt
better. I felt more like myself after leaving this other guy, and I
learned how to enjoy life instead of suffering with him. I share many
things with my boyfriend, but I still have a life separate from his.
This is something I didn't have before, and I love every minute of it.
You just feel so content and so able to trust the guy if he's right for
you. I felt like I could never trust again last year. This new feeling
hit me hard and took me by surprise less than a year after all the
drama. To this day, I'm still shocked that I'm able to trust him so
easily! It's a lovely feeling.
I do enjoy the single life, don't
get me wrong, but I enjoy being with someone and sharing my life and
passions with someone else more fulfilling. Everyone has a different
idea of what works for them and what feels better, but that's where I
stand. It's absolutely awesome to know there's someone there that you
can share everything with, whether it be news, feelings, or even just
life in general. Many people are afraid of commitment, but what's life
without a little risk? Jump in the lake! Sure, you may think it's cold
and uninviting, but it may turn out to be surprisingly warm.
What are your opinions on love? Does love at first sight exist? Is the single life really better?
