Living in the REAL world ...
.... Some people clearly seem to think life is like the movies ...Surely anyone of average intelligence is aware that the "can't stop thinking of each other" stage doesn't last ... (?)
... the buzz at the very beginning eventually fizzles out ...
Familiarity walks in the door and before long, routine sets in ...
Everyday life takes over .. and pretty soon cracks will appear ...
Nothing in life is perfect ... relationships .. people ... are flawed ...
Sure the cracks can be smoothed over ... it's all a matter of compromise & hard work ...
But be realistic in what you search for, so that disappointment doesn't bite you on the arse ...
Take off the rose coloured glasses & keep it REAL.
Life is a tough place & happily ever afters aren't guaranteed.

Don't let me down
Take a sad song and
make it better
As far as happily ever after, I dont have illusions about that, I know in every relationship theres gonna be some or at least a little work needed to keep the spark going and compromise to keep peace.
... life travelling solo (without compromise) is about as REAL as things get ... and for some of us ... it's as perfect as life can get ...
.. yes ... that's the BIG ISSUE ... finding a match that both people can compromise their lifestyles around .. someone who is fine with all your habits/likes/preferences, and vice-versa ... not an easy thing to find ... But i know it's possible ...
For me anyway .. I have no desire to share my life with anyone ... I truly believe men and women are just too different to live under the same roof ... too much hard work, and frankly i can't be bothered ... These days I come home to a wagging tail on four legs .. and that's more than enough for me ...
Awwwww! That's completely awesome ...
Hey ! ... CooOL .. thanx ...
Ya know what Swiss? Never give up .. I really believe everyone should follow their dreams .. & remain determined/focused in the search for whatever they believe will make them happy. Destiny calls the shots. There's a guy out there for you ... if that's what you really want .. never give up looking for him .. and never .. ever .. EVER .. accept 2nd best ... As you mentioned already .. life is better on your own than being with someone who doesn't make you happy .. someone who is selfish .. self-centred and doesn't know how to both show and give love ... it'll happen swiss .. ya just gotta be patient ...
If there was such thing as perfect, none of us would be here now.
... how profound ...
.. well .. what can i say? Thanks very much for your sentiments .. but the truth of the matter is ... i'm NOT LOOKING to put a guy in my life! I've been single for 9 years (almost 10) and have zero intention of changing that ... I'm on this site just for the blogs/forums .. general chit chat ... I dearly love my single life and wouldn't swap it for anything ...
This blog was intended for those out there who have unrealistic expectations and go through life with blinders on .. nothing at all to do with ME personally ...
Living and learning... You describe youre choise of living in a fair way, like you have come to terms about how you LIKE to live. Not all people are able to accept youre toughts, and will strugle to find someone til they meet the Maker(ore someone).
To me it has become more and more like "just looking", and if someone nice realy appeard in my life again, take it from there.
Great blog...
and just "Keep on rocking in the free world" ?
by all means ... keep the eyes open .. but also be aware of the pitfalls .. life's a roll of the dice and all manner of things are possible .. absolutely ... I know quite a few people in successful/happy relationships .. so yeah, it's possible .. fate and destiny calls the shots ... and yeah ... keep on rockin' in the free world ... absolutely ...
