Love is a funny thing. The second you
accept that it’s not coming your way, is the second someone finally comes out
of the woodwork.
I’ve never been one to do things simply or
halfhearted, I fall unquestioningly, deeply… Probably to my own detriment.
When you’re in a situation where you need
to get to know a person so quickly, before you have to leave – to go to the
other side of the world mind you! – All your senses and feelings are
heightened. You are so blinded by lust, by love, by excitement, that you don’t
look for those little qualities that might irk you. You don’t even question
that this person may not be compatible with you, that your relationship might
be flawed. You’re so in the moment, and
you’re certain that this person is the one, the person who you are meant to
find.
You spend every waking moment together,
doing things that you only imagined would happen in a romantic movie. He is the
perfect gentleman, and already you’re both planning your life around this
relationship.
However, the thing with whirlwind romances
is that you reach the high so quickly, and are planning ahead so early, that it
takes a lifetime to fully digest what actually happened after it came crashing
down. Things are so wonderful and cute and fun… Until they’re just… not.
Suddenly, you finally see all the things
that you couldn’t before. Suddenly that
love that you were blinded by is gone.
You can see it in his eyes too.
He knows that this isn’t working, but what can you say?
And then it all just stops. You’re not particularly sad, but just kind of
empty, confused, and wondering what the hell just happened. But as much as you question your decisions
and the things that happened during that short period of time, you’re kind of
happy… Look at all the things you learned!
Look at how much you grew! Look
at how differently you now look at your life! Because even though the
relationship may be over, you will live with the lessons.
This week was a bit more personal, a good
cleanse of the soul. Let me know what you think!

I have the mindset that everything that comes my way has something to teach me, to mold me, to add another piece of me to make me whole. It may leave me heartbroken or scared to try again, but it taught me a lot about life, and that's what's important. A whirlwind romance is always scary but if it made you happy even for just awhile, it should be worth it. It will be a good memory as you move halfway across the world. ;)
