Update

So I've decided that I'm gonna go all "Rev Run" on you today. I haven't written anything particularly meaningful lately, which I am beginning to consider excusable considering my current emotional state. Most of it has just been ranting and complaining. But I will start writing more, I have to. If it offers inspiration to even one person, than it is worth it. So here ya go...

Life is more than just a chain of events; everything is relative. Our actions are the cause of our reactions, our opportunities a result of our choices, and our spirits a mirror image of our intentions. Lately, I have been having some relationship troubles. Although they are not for a lack of interest or a lack of love, these issues have placed an unwanted barrier between the two of us. The current dynamic of our relationship is definitely questionable. It has been very push and pull. The harder I push, the more she pulls away. The more I pull back and pretend not to care, the more she pushes. And the reverse is true as well. The back-and-forth of it is beginning to serve as destructive to both of us. Love should never be predicated on convenience. I know in my heart what I want to do, but all rationale is against it. Under normal circumstances I would describe this feeling as love ("...all reasoning is against it, all healthy instinct for it" to quote Samuel Butler) but in this case, I know that I must also listen to the logic if I really want the relationship to work. I hope that I can figure it out soon, so that I don't lose another love to my selfish actions.

Take your lover by the hand and never let go. Take your lover by the arm and lead them to heaven. There may be twists and turns along the way, but as long as you have each other, you will never be lost.

Life is love,
Enlightened
