Beautiful

Ok, as I was doing stuff earlier this evening, I began thinking about my own philosophy on relationships. Out of the blue, I came up with the following quote. I'm glad I was writing it out cause I probably couldn't remember it had I tried.

"You have to be willing to accept the fact that every relationship you are in may not be "the one". Therefore, you have to be willing to tell yourself that you can move on if it does, in fact, end. It will always be painful and invoke anger, and you will always second guess yourself. You will always wonder if you made the right decision or not. But, as much as it hurts, you can't let your hindsight rule you. You've got to get up, dust yourself off, and remind yourself that the person who cares about you the most is the one you see in the mirror everyday. And that, with the right amount of luck, there is someone out there for you. You just have to be willing to grab the handlebars and hold on tight. Because, lemme tell ya, love is a strange thing."

I seriously almost cried after reading it a second time.

I can't be so serious about someone so fast. That's what happened with Amanda. I somehow allowed myself to think Amanda and I were something that we weren't. But, now that it's over, I see the error.

Enough putting all my eggs in one basket. I have to get to know the girl pretty well first before I even have the hint that it could possibly be love. It's gonna be tough, but it's what's gonna have to happen.

Now, I can't say this is the right philosophy for everyone. However, if you do end up thinking this is the way to go, it's all good.

That's all I got to say about that. Let's just hope it works.
