Thoughts on true love
I have been reading loads and loads of articles on life, love, heartbreak, wholeness, etc (you get the drift). Here is an excerpt from an article I really enjoyed, and wanted to share:
When you understand and celebrate independence and individuality, but come together as a couple and make the most out of the time you do spend with one another. After all, love is what’s supposed to last forever. So why push everything to move so quickly? It’s understandably exciting, when you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. But it is starting. Love isn’t lust. It doesn’t happen fast. It comes over time, as days pass and you constantly find reasons why you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. When you find this person...Work for it. Because true love is much more difficult to find than lust. It’s real, and it lasts forever.

I can't believe how fast time goes by. It seems like, on one hand, I feel so young still... and despite the multitudes of life experiences I've been able to have (the good and the bad ones!) I still feel like the potential for what's ahead is HUGE.
At the same time, though, my friends are slowly getting engaged, married, and some of them even have, gasp, babies on the way. Yikes. I know everyone does life at their own pace, but it's still a bit frightening to think that in five years my life could be drastically different.
I have so much to say on the topic of how fleeting life is, but until next time, here's a photo of my mum and I hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. :)
