(no subject)
Another weekend passes in what can only be described as holy bliss. 4 hours spent training NHB with Jason Winkle, director of Combatives at West Point. And of course, the love of my life. Every Monday morning, when I wake up, (all too early) and am forced by circumstance to leave my own little heaven I remember why it is I strive. Why it is I force myself to endure things I hate with venomous thought. Still, I will be more than happy when this stage of my life is complete. When I can wake up every morning with that almost overpowering crescendo of emotion I call love.
Too often I think, do we hear how the fairy tales never come true, how happily ever after is a myth. Too often do we hear that true love is something imagined, feigned. Too often do we hear the worst of human behavior, the whining, the cheating, the lieing. I simply want to state that this is not the only way life travels. Happily ever after does exist, True Love is real. I think it is time people stopped settling for 'reality' and started expecting execptionalism. This of course will never happen.
Out of pure boredom and the fact that I happened to bring my soapbox with me today, I would like to tackle another relationship myth. The good fight. From the time I can remember (which would be yesterday or the day before) I have seen people argue this point single mindedly. Fighting is good, without it a relationship would never grow, never get better. People surely cannot come closer together unless they fight over something. Fighting is a natural part of a relationship, it is healthy. I have heard all of these arguments and to my chargrin, believed them. I have been down that road, seen more than my share of arguments, felt more than my share of depression and sadness. But of course, this was the way it had to be, right? I hated fighting but it was something I would learn to have to deal with if I wanted a happy, healthy relationship, right? I am not trying to say that all arguing is bad, unhealthy, and always possible to avoid. If that works for you, good. Be happy, argue, fight, make up, enjoy life. However, that is not the only way a healthy relationship can work. And for me I am happy that I don't have to deal with someone yelling at me. I don't have to deal with the guilt of wondering if I really did do something wrong.
Anyway, that was kinda my disorganized speil. I'm just saying, if you like to fight with your partner, like the feeling you get when it is over. Good for you. I don't and that isn't the only way it can be done.
I suppose I should leave any of you who have had the patience to make it this far before I singe your sanity. But for me, today, tomorrow, and on into eternity I walk on clouds.
Peace.
