A relationship is always going to be unpredictable to a certain degree. Sometimes, a bulk of us can end up in relationships without even really intending to. And some of us never get into relationships no matter how hard we try. You might be lucky enough to find love even when you’re not necessarily looking for it. You can take a glance across a crowded room and chance upon locking eyes with a random stranger. Maybe you could randomly meet the love of your life at some party that you didn’t even want to go to in the first place.
Perhaps you get introduced to someone who you just have an immediate connection and spark with. And suddenly, the two of you get caught in that spiral. You fall in love with one another, and you are falling hard. And this whole situation might be so strange to you. The whole thing might seem so random. Fate and destiny orchestrated everything for you; and even though you might not necessarily believe in these things, the coincidences are just too strong to ignore. It seems like everything is just seamlessly falling into place in your relationship, and it’s really starting to weaken your cynicism. Maybe there IS an invisible hand that is just controlling everything surrounding your love life.
There are those in this world who think that your fate depends entirely on the choices that you make in this life. They tell you that you have to go out and take a very active role in shaping your destiny. You are made to believe that you have full control over everything that happens in your life; and that whatever good thing that might happen to you is only going to be a result of your own doing. You are convinced that you will somehow be able to tip the scales in your favor if you put in enough effort. You believe that any love that may enter your life is only going to come about if you will it to do so.
You think that somehow, you can manipulate your lifestyle to attract more people towards yourself. You believe that if you travel far enough and if you meet enough people, you are significantly improving your chances at eventually finding the love of your life. You make yourself vulnerable as much as you can because you know that that is what it takes to find love. You muster up the courage to put yourself out there. You don’t allow yourself to cower under the fear of rejection. You know that in order for you to find love, you put yourself right in the path of destruction because love isn’t always going to be a smooth sail.
But here’s the thing: when two people who meet one another have an immediate heat and passion between the two of them, then there’s an undeniable bond there that has to be nurtured. You might have tried your hand at so many relationships in the past; maybe the both of you have had your fair share of heartaches and disappointments. So you’ve been around the block before. But in this meeting, you know that things are just different. You know that you have something special that is worth holding on to. You know that all of the relationships in the past don’t even hold a candle to the one that you’re in now. And so you start to lose yourselves in one another.
This next-level relationship is something that is very delicate, and you know that you can’t be doing anything stupid to put it in any kind of jeopardy. You are terrified at the fact that you’re going to lose this relationship; you are scared that you are going to miss out on an opportunity to make this relationship last for the long haul. But here’s the thing: relationships aren’t always going to be smooth sails. And even though things might seem so perfect and fine at the start, it’s not always going to stay that way. You aren’t always going to be assured of success in your love. And sometimes, no matter how much you love one another, you might grow apart. You might have to take some time to break away from each other for a bit.
But you can always take consolation in the fact that two people who are meant to be with each other are always going to end up together in the end. If you’re truly meant to be with a person, you’re always going to be able to find a way to make things work. If destiny favors the two of you to be together, then you really have nothing to worry about. You just have to make sure that you don’t squander whatever opportunity you get at true love.
