Recently someone asked me if I believed in true love. Now, for most people this answer should be easy but for me it takes a lot of thought. After much consideration I have to say, Yes, I believe in true love. I believe it is possible . . I choose to believe it is possible . . .I need to believe it is possible.
I think the biggest issue we face in finding true love is the fact most people are “in love” with the idea of being “in love” and they try to force it. There is an old country song with the lyrics “if it don’t come easy you gotta let it go….” I am a firm believer in this philosophy. Do not get me wrong, I know there will be conflict and things couples will need to work out, but if your relationship consists of constantly working things out rather than just being together there is a problem.
I also believe people force “true love” because they are tired of being alone or they feel lonely. I am not afraid to be alone; in fact, I look forward to my alone time. Being single for so long has not been overly difficult on me. I have my children to keep me busy and company but there are time I would welcome that special someone to share things with and I feel the sense of “lonely” creep in. However, one of the worst feelings in the world is crawling into bed at night, pulling up the covers and feeling a deep sense of loneliness and a void that splits your soul while lying next to your spouse.
To quote The Notebook . . . “It is the possibilities that keep us going, not the guarantee”. When we are guaranteed something, we ultimately end up taking it for granted and not working to maintain that which is already ours. I look forward to the possibility of true love . . .
