When you're young there's a tendency to believe that everything will just fall into place. You'll get that amazing job, meet the right person, and go-on to live happily ever after, hmmm....
Then as you get older, and begin to realise that your life is not the stuff dreams are made of. It can suddenly dawn on you, that maybe not everyone get's to live the dream - now that can be a bitter pill to swallow.
In terms of relationships-then, should we lower our love expectations, so as not to be too disappointed if the 'one' doesn't show up? Or have they shown up already, but we failed to notice them, because they didn't look, or sound the way we imagined they would.
We all have a vision of love don't we. But if we stick rigidly to that vision, we could end-up excluding an endless sea of possibilities. Stiking to what-we-know, is easy, but does easy, equal growth?
That person could be him, or her. Older or younger, seperated or even have children. Life's complicated. So should we take a chance?
See picture, Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss' 1907 - truly a vision of love if ever there was one.
