In this complicated world sometimes it seems that without that special someone life will never be what you hoped for. The day seems longer; the sky seems less blue, the grass less green. Then all of a sudden, "Wham" You get hit by cupid's arrow. You lock eyes with them from across the room and suddenly your entire life changes in that instant.
My life has changed. From the minute I saw him I knew this was going to be different than anything else I had ever experienced before. What I didn't know was how much harder I would have to work at something I always thought would come so easily. Love is not easy. Love is hard work. Much like your career, you have to constantly perfect your craft, work hard, learn from your mistakes, love what your striving to accomplish more than your ego, and the hardest one of all for me, is learning to compromise.
In all the relationships I have had I have never considered the word compromise let alone what it took to actually make one. Finding love has taught me so much about my self and how much I have yet to learn. Walking the fine line between maintaining my independence and finding a middle ground is something that never occurred to me until now. Combining my stubbornness with someone equally as stubborn can spell trouble. The only way is to find some middle ground, meet there, and try to work out a compromise. Sometimes, the very thing that attracts you to someone is the very thing that creates so much chaos. In four months I have never been so attracted to someone and so pissed at someone at the same time. It's enough to make you crazy. I know that it's a process. Finding love doesn't mean all your questions are answered or that everyday is going to be rainbows from here on out. I think it means that you have found someone who makes answering those questions a little easier because you have someone on your side, and in life and love sometimes you have to put up with the rain before you can experience the rainbow. There will always be things we don't agree on, but in the big picture it's just not that important.
In the past four months I have truly come to know and feel true love. We have ups and downs and everything in between but the one thing that remains constant is love. So learning to compromise isn't going to be easy, but I know it will be worth it. When we are together the days really do seem shorter, the sky does seem bluer, and the grass is definitely greener. Life is somehow easier because I have found someone to share it with.
