though we have had our ups and downs....and moments of uncertainty of our future..
i believe in love at first sight. when i saw travis i didn't want a relationship. i was getting out of a bad one. i wanted to be free again.
i was immediately drawn to him the minute i saw him. i felt i had to talk to him. as i talked to him more the next time i saw him, i knew. i was devastated when we broke up in 96, that's one reason i moved to austin. i couldn't stay. my sister needed help, it was a perfect escape. when things weren't working out with our other roomate, and travis was wanting to get back together, i moved back.
so in answer to your question...i believe in love in first sight.
Hey Stephen--I can't say I'm too surprised that you unfriended me, as I know most of the stuff I've been writing isn't your cup of tea. Still, I'm sorry to see you go; though we disagree on a lot, I appreciated your perspectives. Take care and I wish you the best.
That is one of the most beautiful goodbyes I've ever read.
Your journal is your own place to be yourself. I realize that, and I don't want to interfere with it or be ugly or judgmental in response to what you write there. It's a simple truth that much of what you write pushes my buttons because, I guess, I have buttons to push. It seems what pushes your buttons in your life gets you to respond in a way in your journal that pushes my buttons.
It's much better, I think, for me to have room to be myself in my journal and you to have room to be yourself in yours without the conflict that I'll inevitably create.
I think that a few years ago I would have said that I definitely believed in love at first sight. I realize now that it was infatuation with an image, bringing with it a high of newness and discovery that I associated with love. My relationships were all about riding extremes, both highs and lows. Now, well...I would have to say I believe in love as being a growing and evolving thing. I don't believe in movie fairy tale love, but I do believe that something very real, deep, and wonderful can exist between two people. Sometimes, as people grow, their love grows together. Sometimes not. I think what I have learned is that it is better to cultivate peace and happiness within yourself, than it is to look for it in another.
