The One, Do They Really Exist?
How many of us have fallen hard, once, twice, ok admit it, a few times? I mean really fell, you thought that person was the end of it all for you. Lets face it, as women, we tend to fall easier than the men do. At least this has been my experience, either personally or through the ones I love. So what do you think? Does "the one" really exist? How do you know when you have actually found him/her? Some one once told me you would just know. Ok well I did just know, twice. So where the hell is my heart going wrong, cause well I dont fall easy and I generally dont buy into the pretty words or bull. I am hard on people, I dont trust easy. So when that "one" jumped over my, hard to climb, walls, I was shocked and even a little scared. I guess that last statement raises yet another question, if i was scared, why did I "just know" he was it? Well all I knew at that time was he was my best friend, I had a relationship with this man that rivaled any other one I had in my life at that time. All I knew was he was the first and last thing on my mind every day and he was constantly on my mind all day. I could tell you every detail of every time we were together. I knew him like the back of my hand. I could tell you every bad habit, his reputation, but also the man I knew that no one else knew. I knew the things about him that would have shocked other people, the front he put up for everyone else was not the man I got. Yet we werent together. We were the best of friends who made a terrible mistake. We got too close then he got married. To this day he swears hes the happiest man in the world, but he cant look me in the eye and say that. Why? Cause he still cant lie to me. Then there was this last one. With in minutes of meeting this beautiful man, I told my friend Elyssa, "I need to stay away from that one. I have a feeling if I dont that I will be too far gone to look at any one else, ever again." I knew. I just knew, from the very moment I met him. It had nothing to do with his physical appearance, though that was beautiful. It was just this crazy connection I felt to him. I looked him in the eye and before he even told me his name I knew him. Its like I knew exactly who he was and what he was meant for. I spent an entire week watching him but avoiding running into him. If you read this blog, well you know the rest of this story, so I wont go into the Amanda/Kevin saga of stupid. So I ask you, again, what is your thoughts? Does that "One True Love" really exist, for every one?

Let's try this again, I left a comment but it got lost in the world wide web....
I believe that everyone is given the opportunity to find someone who has the potential to "the one", but I don't think that there is only one person in this life that can touch your life in some way.
I have had my share of heart aches, and I have learned some things along the way:
1.) You need to view yourself as the rule and not the exception. The man who you are supposed to be with is going to fight for you, die for you, and bring a pick axe to tear down your walls. And he is not the guy who is going to run away after doing so. He is going to be the guy who will pick you back up and brush the dust off.
2.) There is no guarantees in life, you can do everything right and still not find someone. Life is also very unfair, because I have seem many beautiful, splendid people be so unlucky in love. At the same time I have seen some very undeserving people find love quickly. Even if you never find the one, your life has a purpose. And that life and your love will touch many people in your lifetime, and they will be better for it.
3.) Love is a wonderful, glorious thing that can leave you soaring. But it also one of the hardest things to recover from. Its like a cancer that infects every cell and molecule in your body and it will take time to heal. In the end you will be a survivor, and be thankful that you are still alive. But it does not mean that you will not walk away from unscarred.
4.) You are never too old to dream of your prince charming. But princess, you are going to have to fight those dragons on your own. You have the strength, to conquer
anything.
And if you ever want to talk you can find me on twitter: KristinBeth524
Oh Kristin, I swear one day I will feel normal again. I know I will. I guess I am kind of bitter. I keep watching all my friends get married, have babies, have second and third babies. Here I am, still single. After two 4 plus year relationships, a house, three dogs and finally the one I just knew was it for me. I was, ok still am, completely stupidly in love with that man. So many things about that trip to DC I havent told anyone except maybe my friend Ken. I just wish I could forgive me for not being there for him when he needed me to be, instead of being there emotionally and supporting him I pushed him off in the other direction. I am not making excuses but its really what I did. I feel like a first class jackass. I mean I have been sitting here thinking to myself, "what did I do wrong, why does this always seem to happen to me?" Why it happens, I push them away. They get too close and I push them away. I will be the first to willingly admit that I have done this alot. I just wish that I felt like there was something I could do about it. Thank you for the support. I do not Twitter, but I do facebook...
Well we will have to facebook. And believe me I understand. I am turning 30 in less than 2 months, and I have watched all my friends get married, have children, buy houses, etc. And a lot of them much younger than me. I have been in two serious relationships, and this time I thought I had it right. And you know even after almost 3 years together, he still can't give me a straight answer. He just sits there and watches me make decisions that will lead to me walking out of his life. He is too scared, and you know what I don't need that. But it doesn't make it easier for me, and I know the heart ache that is waiting for me. You just take it one day at a time.
Yes Kris we do need to facebook. Do you need my name to find me. I mean I know you know my First name... but I am listed with first middle and last cause its so common.
I swear I feel so far behind all my friends. Do you know how frustrating it is to be asked, are you married, kids? No? Really? Oh Im sorry... Up until recently I always answered, Why I am not....
How did I get so blah!!
You will actually find me pretty easily if you put in my first and last name. There is only two of us, and my first name is spelled with 2 "i"'s.
Since I don't want to write out my last name let's say that you start with a T end with and E and put the leters a-r-a-s in between the two. =P
Lol you can remove it.
Yay! cant wait to see you on Facebook!!
