You Don't Need Permission To Be In Love

Just had a chat with HJ on the phone. I think the two of us are kinda in the same kind of limboic situation where we don't know what lies ahead of us.

The subject of spending the rest of your life with someone came up. And I suddenly recall reading somewhere before about there being no such thing as soulmates in this World, and that you don't absolutely have to spend the rest of your life with one specific person.

I think the whole idea is about working to make things work even if it's the wrong person, instead of banking on the fact that things will work out because it's the right person. Sounds confusing, but it makes a lot of sense to me.

No matter how, right or wrong, everyone has to work on making a relationship work. Sometimes I think that people give up too easily or they settle at what they have now, and it kinda just slips into a given and slowly fades to become unimportant and then into nothingness.

Sounds really bleak, doesn't it? But I think this is really what happens to a lot of relationships. Kinda sad, but in the end, probably, we can only blame ourselves for not fighting to make it work in the first place...
