Ten years ago, in my early 20s, I recall feeling this sense of endless possibility. I felt there was going to be more chances to love freely and dramatically. LOL
I believe most of us can admit that our 20s were full of theatrical moments; an essential ingredient to shape who we are today. Hopefully we learn from our 20s and make better decisions and we move on to the next age bracket.
Fast forward Byron’s life to present day:
“I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love” – Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw
That happens to be one of my favorite quotes from that TV show; mainly because it resonates with my own life experiences. Like most TV shows, movies and/or songs, we tend to gravitate towards these examples so that we can feel less alien-like (LOL). We want to know that someone out there gets us on some level.
Then we meet people that don’t quite fit that ridiculous, inconvenient, love statement. They are clever with their words but fall short on their actions. As for me, there is no rush to the alter, of course. On the other hand, knowing that tomorrow is not promised, I have a difficult time sticking around for something seems to be wasteful. I do not believe in wasting time because I don’t know how much of that is left. None of us know. I want to spend each moment loving, laughing and sharing it with people on that same level. The time is here...right now...in this very moment. When it comes to bringing in that significant other, when do we stop? When do we go?
Why can’t we have a traffic light image pop in our heads when we meet new people…telling us when to proceed and when to stop proceeding? I guess that would be too easy, huh? LOL
