old musings

I wrote this in May last year. I remember thinking about it quite a bit while I was laying in bed and got up out of bed in order to jot this down.

I heard once that love is easy when you find the right one and that makes complete sense to me. When you have found your soul mate (or as close as you can get) there shouldn't be any obstacles if you are meant to be together. However, there are other things to be considered. Timing can be a huge issue. Perhaps the inception of all relationships occurs in a certain window of time. I believe that timing has to be right in terms of love as well. Does the belief that love is easy when its right conflict with the issue of timing?

Perhaps I should be asking myself why this is so important to me. Is love really something that needs to be analyzed? Deep down, I know I wonder about it because its something I want. I believe in love, but sometimes I also wonder if it just exists to screw me over. I'm idealistic. I hold strongly to the belief that love at first sight exists. I believe in butterflies and perfect chemistry. I believe that knowing love goes hand in hand with being hurt, being vulnerable at sometime in your life. I don't think its fair for someone to never realize the agony of unrequited love or a broken heart - to walk into the perfect relationship. Can you really know love if you've never been hurt?
