Sorry to put a damper on people's thoughts but don't you think that we all feel that we have met "The One",our "soul mate", "our twin" when we fall in love .
How can someone else be your other half when you are an individual. Many people meet, marry ,and yes ,experience long and happy marriages ,but isn't that due to growing together as a couple, and experiencing life's dramas together.
I bet you can all name someone who got married to "the one" only for it to end in a bitter divorce.
Why would you want someone to be a mirror of yourself? Surely diversity is what keeps people interested in each other. They say opposites attract don't they,but is this really true?
You have two people of a different gender who are attracted to each other through similar attitudes to values and beliefs, which are visible. Once on a permanent basis when living together and personalities come to the fore, the face of the relationship can change, and cause tensions between the couple.
We blend because we try to please,but is this a healthy way to live.
I do believe that people who come together later in life can have this harmony ,but isn't that because they have already been on a giant learning curve ,and experienced the fallout with their significant other ,raised their children, and are now free to pursue their own personal destiny.
It's within all of us to love ,but sometimes life throws us a curved ball and we have to deal with it and move on.
Thank you to all those who popped in to my blog and replied in a friendly manner.
If we all "think before we ink" and maybe read back just what we have actually put into words ,in response to our fellow bloggers,we could retract any "cutting " comments before we press post.
My post is not to cast aspersions or pour scorn on others,but to bring harmony where there is discord.
We should be able to post freely without the fear of reprisals. The blogs have lost some really great people of late and it's a shame, as everyone has something to bring to the table.
There are many reasons why people don't post pictures. I actually put one up to satisfy someone who thought I was a fake, and my mailbox was inundated with mail.I'm here for chat and friendship so people can judge me by my words not my image.
After a long time u guys have broken up with ur x, now he/she comes someones later to claim back the love two of u had in the past with a thousand apology...WILL U TAKE IT BACK???
How can you claim back that which you chose to reject.

All blog plant savers feel free to borrow any tools you like ,but please put them back where you found them,so others can keep their blogs healthy.---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----
I think my perspective as to how I see myself has changed with age. As you mature you tend to see things in a different light.
My world has always been filled with love and respect for others,not always reciprocated I might add,but I can now let go of things that pain me and move on.
I like to think outside the box and try to imagine how others see me. Hopefully in a good light,but we cannot please everyone can we.
