I was reading something today about those elusive "loves" in our lives. What it is about them that we are drawn to. You know, the ones we can't have, for whatever reason.
The article said something about looking at them and trying to determine what it is about them that we are drawn to. It could be something we see in them that we wish to see in ourselves. For me right now, I guess it's the freedom I see. The ability to go and do whatever they want when they want. I know I can't jump on a jet ski and run up and down the river. I know I can't jump in my car and just drive, no plan, no specific destination, stop when I get tired, take the scenic route. I know I can't do those things. Would that same person hold that same attraction if our lives were different? Would I be drawn to that freedom if I had no ties on me? Or would I be drawn to someone stable, rooted in reality, who would be my mirror image?
I'm not an expert, but I've been there. And I survived.
