A life lesson on love

Tagged:

It has come to my attention that our society continues to press the matter that a woman is not accomplished if she doesn't have a man standing by her side. It is simply a ridiculous idea that a woman cannot be independent and not need the company of a man by her side. For men can only continue to disappoint us with their arrogrance, ignorance, impertience and indifference to a woman's feelings. They can not begin to understand how woman behave or a woman's intuition.

For instance on matters of the heart, a woman always trusts her heart over her mind because her intuition will always lead to discover the answers that she desires even the ones that she doesn't want to be reminded of.

For a man cannot distinctevly say that he trusts his intuition, he can act on irraitionality on emotions instead of utlitzling logic with emotion.

Though in my case, it has always been a utilization of rash decision that as soon as i get too close, i try to run away and then try to make amends to my mistakes by trying to pretend that things can work but in reality it has been too late. thus putting in my case of losing someone: in this case two best friends who shall never be replaced all for the name of love.

Yet i have learned only that history repeats itself if we have not learned the lesson. In which my lesson is still how to love and be loved in return. We are all but fools in love but we can count on our true friends and family to remind us that is what life is all about and we will all have our day in the sun one day.

For now I continue to practice asserting my independence as a woman who has her feet firmly upon the ground, truly happy without the need of a guy by her side. Additionally, we spend at least half of our lives: alone and if we cannot stand being alone by ourselves, how can we expect someone to fill that empty space that we fill in our lives if we can not fill it ourselves?

Thus I pose the question: is it possible for two lovers to be together despite all the chaos and remain friends until this time or rather does it continue to be a fairy tale that continues to fade away?

Good ideas excpressed really well. .... i must say

Yes it is possible for two lovers to be together despite all the chaos and remain friends until this time, except what do you mean by *this* time?

It is possible provided the two lovers in question are actually in love in the first place and not just infatuated. In my experience I am inclined to think that it takes a maximum of two years for infatuation to fade. What you have left once the infatuation is gone is what really exists between the two. People continue in relationships even if the infatuation is gone and they are not in love. They do this for millions of reasons, most common is fear of being alone. Second is fear of hurting the other person.

Those relationships either die, or the people involved in them deteriorate, or else spend a long time on a detour from finding happiness. They might wake up one day and figure it out, but how much time are you willing to waste? That is the question. better to hold out for the real thing.
