Nikki Sahagin Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 From a young age we are conditioned to believe that without another person we are not complete. As such, we constantly seek out that 'other half', 'the one' - the person that will mysteriously make us feel whole. All the pain, hurt, loneliness, confusion, uncertainty will make sense because we will meet that person that brings meaning and completiton to our life's and to ourselves. Through them we make sense, through them we have meaning. Love gives life meaning. Which is why when we fall in love, we do tend to feel complete. Life seems to be going somewhere and anything is possible. The confusion of all those different roads and routes disapears because we feel we are on the road to somewhere with this person. Some of us are idealists, hopeless romantics and all the fairy tales and stories and romantic movies - we want that kind of love and some of us experience it. The way I fell in love, it felt like it happened straight from a story book, it felt like a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing. It is the agony of losing the person that filled that void, exposing that void once again and learning to possibly go on knowing that love may not fill that void again. It is the beauty, the purpose and the mystery that love gives life, that makes it's disapearance all the more painful and sobering. This is just a random pointless post that I felt like writing so no need to respond!
