One woman's journey through life, love and beyond.
"When my body thinks...all my flesh has a soul" - Colette
I am a rebel. I am intelligent, creative, sexy, compassionate, funny, sarcastic, loving, romantic, spontaneous, moody at times, confused, confusing, a bit geeky, helpful and helpless at times, a good cook, a good listener, a good friend. I do not suffer fools gladly. I love good literature, good music, good cinema, good wine and good company with whom I can share all of those wonders. I am not your grandmamas Colette. ^_^

The romantic answers the above question with an unequivocal – YES. The realist would temper that answer with “if you are very, very fortunate”. And the cynic would point out what a tremendous amount of work it is to keep a relationship together for a long period of time – that the odds just don’t favor a positive outcome.
But I can tell you from personal experience, I have found nothing in this world like it.
together forever? i don't know about that, but it certainly was more likely before the advent of liz taylor and "divorce court" and, of course, the internet. i believe that somewhere between the longing in our soul for a "soulmate" and the lust in our loins, lies our heart, which is fated to be broken.
and i can tell you from personal experience, i have suffered that fracture...and there has been no balm.
I certainly believe that it's possible, and that it doesn't require tons and tons of extra work. Yeah it takes effort, or maybe more correctly, it takes attention.
I think it also requires that each person allow the other to be themselves. If you're going to get mad or upset when you disagree and try to enforce your will, then there's going to be problems.
I do know some couples that have happily stood the test of time.
Thank all of your for your take.
Squire you give me hope.
Sid - I agree to some extent - I also know you will find that love in your life.
And darling,
Effort AND work are both requirements and sometimes a lot of each. And as far as thinking people aren't going to get upset when arguing or disagreeing um...er...sorry but I beg to differ - people ARE going to get upset - that's cause they are human. The idea is to not say anything that may cause irreparable harm to the relationship - sometimes easier said than done. And to remember to let go, forgive and show each other love and compassion.
Staying together forever seems like a wonderful dream - I am hoping to make it a reality with you.
