I am reading The time traveler's wife... I'm trying to slow down the reading because I don't want it to end. It's beautiful. I accidentally got the movie out last weekend & I am so glad I did. Without going too much into it for the ones who haven't read it, it's the most beautiful love story ever. Someone you've known forever, waited for your whole life, been in love with, destined to be with. I love it & I know it's just a story but someone out there also thinks like me. Although it's a little different way of thinking, I truly think there is the one out there for everyone. We can love others but there is only one keeper. One you cannot live without, cannot remember your life without, one who truly does complete you. I'm waiting for mine. I know he's there waiting for me. We're just not at the meeting stage yet LOL
It does make you wonder though doesn't it?? We're born into this life I feel with our paths already paved. Some have quite a few cracks in it and others just get that smooth clear path. Mine has definitely had a few cracks but I wouldn't be the person I am today without those cracks.
I've been single for quite a while now. Probably longer than most but I haven't wanted anyone really. I'm comfortable with that. Not a lot of people are. I find it odd. It's my life, I'm good.. leave me be. It's not like I haven't tested the waters, it's just no one seems good enough for me and my little man. When I find him I'll know but until then, I wait. He will not jump out and say "I'm the one"I get that, but I'm getting there. I'm not going to settle again. I did that before and it didn't get me anywhere. Just years of wasted time and heartache, loss of confidence, loss of everything. Not planning on going there ever again.
My little man often asks, what if he's bad, what if he goes, what if he doesn't like me... well these are all things that I wonder myself. I have my guard up for all these things but I know that when I do find him, wherever he is, all will be fine. We'll fit. Mould into one. It's not going to be as easy as said but for the one you love, the one, I know it's different. I'm not expecting the movies crap, I'm not even expecting that a little but I do believe that we all have the one. My parents met in high school. They knew very early on in the piece that this was it. They've been married for nearly 34 years and have never looked back. It's not always been smooth sailing but they've always been the one for them. No relationship ever is. You're not living if it's always smooth sailing.
Anyway, the book... It's set from day dot. You're always going to end up with the one no matter what happens in between. You may even marry and have your own family but if it's not meant to be then the forces of the universe will change that for you. You just have to learn while going about that journey. We all get there in the end whether it be this life or not.
Hmm yeah so I've rambled on again about nothing too much but that's just what I think. I really do think you should read the book because it's so much more than what I've just crapped on about. Really it is and don't take anything I've said as an indication. Just read it.
