Don't judge me, yes I'm going to blog about love.
No, I'm not going to talk about my relationships.
No, I'm not going to cry over past mistakes.
Yes, I am going to talk about love.
Love in my sense of the word that is.
Have you ever noticed that when people are in a relationship, they wait for forever to say "the L word" whereas best friends have no problem saying it right away? (Have you also noticed that I use a lot of rhetorical questions to get you invested?)
I find that remarkably intriguing. The fact that you want to hold off telling someone who could potentially be your life partner that you love them tells me that you have not made a good decision as to who you're with. I personally don't believe you should be in a relationship with someone that you're not already comfortable to say "I love you" to. I say I love you to the people I truly love in my life. Girl friends, guy friends, family. And I believe that I do genuinely love them. So to me, I feel that it would be in my best interest to pick a mate from that group of people. Why search for some stranger, hope to fall in love with him, and pray for something that won't hurt when all the while you have a corral of people that you have already accepted applications from, spent plenty of time interviewing, and already feel a connection with at your beck and whim?
I sort of blogged about this before when I was talking about how not wanting to be in a relationship with your best friend is foolish. I'll elaborate a little extra on that by saying: If you're afraid of ruining your friendship by starting a relationship that may end at some point then it's your friendship that needs some tuning up, not that you weren't right for each other.
I believe that we are given numerous soul mates throughout our lives. Every person that we welcome in and choose to accept into our hearts, are our soul mates. If they weren't our soul mate, then we would never have met! It's like fate in a way. That's what soul mates are after all. They are people that you were fated to be with and so it is as such.
So how about spending a little time with your soul mates and start looking at them a little differently. Who knows, you might even find something you never realized was sitting right in front of you.
