Life is full of storms. Having someone who will hold you during those storms is more important than having them understand your fear. Only you can understand your fear. As long as your fear is respected, then all is well.
I think too many expect perfection and when they don't get it, start analyzing everything... (with disastrous results).
Love is not perfect. It's respecting each other's fears and imperfections as well as remembering all the things that attracted you in the first place - things that make you want to be a better person.
Trust is hard. But once given (if earned over time) trust isn't easily lost. But like everything else in life, it's a choice... one you make over and over again on a daily basis.
I'm not sure where all this is coming from - except that I read this quote recently:
and I'm very susceptible to some quotes. Many just fly right over my head, but some... stick and stick hard. Many of my life's philosophies are built around them. And this particular one may mean nothing to you, but it set off a storm of thoughts through mine. And I have to write it out... because it clears my head. Someone once said:
and this is so true (for me anyway)!
Life isn't easy, but (IMO) it can be wonderful... if you let it. There are 'miracle moments'. You know there are. Something else that runs through my head most days is:
" The world is so full of wonderful things.
You'd think that we'd all be as happy as kings... "
(Don't know where that came from, but it's always with me?)
However, on occasion, we're our own worst enemies... either thinking we'll never get it right or having unreasonable expectations for ourselves or others. Let it go! Be careful in picking your battles. Some things truly aren't worth the fight.
And lastly another favorite quote:
"Beyond the gloom of this world lies joy...
Take joy!"
I do.
Hope I didn't bore you. Have a great weekend! (and remember... the storm will pass!)
