Awww -that is so very true! So many people complain, moan and groan about how miserable they are. Too many people aren't as sure as they should be in matters of the heart before making a serious committment. It's taken a long time for me to realize that there isn't love like in the movies. Romance doesn't happen like that unless you make it happen, and it's a lot of hard work.
On a general note - One thing I hate is how people reference my marriage. People make it sound like it was a horrible marriage. It wasn't. It was pretty darn good until the end. People actually looked to our marriage as an example of what they wanted to be. Everything was so easy with us. The only real problem was in the bedroom. More so with him than me. Should have been some sign there. I tried. I gave it my all. But it died. The love died.
I know when I get married again, and it will happen some day, that I won't be as blind. As the movie quote goes, "When you kissed me and told me you loved me, I thought you meant it. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tightly."
(While searching for that exactly quote, I found another goodie: I wanted a perfect ending; now I've learned the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Hate is easy, love takes courage )
I could go on all day with quotes. For now, I'm going to bed.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
