| Life vs. Love

Life and love! Though the dream is that both can live in harmony, I am not sure that is really the case. They don't always go hand in hand. Sometimes, love completely conflicts with life, and vice versa. You can be completely head over heals in love with someone and have them be a complete mismatch to your life and values. On the flip side, you find someone that may match life and values but there is no love. You may try to make either one of these situations work hoping for a great outcome, but they have to intertwine and co-exist. This I have found is rare indeed.
Me, I am still searching, I have been totally and completely in love with someone (experience has told me that this is the only time that I have been truly in love), but the relationship so conflicted with every other aspect of my life and beliefs that I had to let him go. I cried myself to sleep for 8 months (this was a very long time ago).
I have found others that attempts were made at couplehood (is that a word?) and have not had enough emotional commitment to make it work. They usually fall apart by themselves. Which leads me to believe deep in my heart that love on some level is necessary.
I have witnessed long term marriages that you think are great but were miserable but well hidden.
Most people are in need of the "great mix", that is why most marriages now fail miserably.
Though no relationship is perfect, a blend of a little of each can grow to become a beautiful sharing of souls.
Does this sound completely sappy? Absolutely and I am the first to admit it. However, I am a hopeless romantic and still believe that there really is someone out there for everyone. Hence the reason I am here and never willing to give up!!!
