Recently there has been a very tensing thought on my mind, “how do you know you’ve met the ‘one’?”
We are so preprogrammed by things like the media, family, friends, etc. to believe that there is going to be this special moment where everything insides you fizzle and the world glows with a new light. So, what happens when that moment passes? Does that mean the person you’ve shared that moment with is no longer the “one?”
I refuse to believe that. I am twenty-two years young and have loved and lost, but I refuse to complain, because it was always worth it. It wasn’t until a year and some months ago that I decided to fully commit myself to one person. It has been an adventure. Yet, it has honestly made me want to become a better person. Not necessarily just for him, but because naturally when you are in a happier place you become a happier person and are more motivated to become more than you were.
Some people never find true love, or find it and give it up easily because it’s too much hard work. All relationships are work. All relationships are get and give. I realize that now, after trials and tribulations that I have received a blessing so beautiful. To not only have fallen in love, but to do it over and over again with the same person, it’s magical. No matter what issues have arisen, love has conquered and we’ve managed to overcome them. There is no spark that we have to keep relighting, there is no fizzle, and there is no pop. There is just us, constantly finding ways to make the other fall deeper in love.
We wonder how people stay in love so long, stay married so long, stay true so long, I have come to the conclusion that we forget what being there in that moment is like. We forget to do the things that got us to being in love in the first place. The easiest way to stay in love is to remember how you got there. Through the bad times, remember the good. Love exists; we just have to keep it alive…
Until next time…
