I can't even remember the last words I had posted on LJ.
Life has definitely changed since my LJ days. Whenever I need to reflect on how far I've come as an individual, I always read my past posts. I started posting on LJ when I was in high school, that's about a decade ago. I'm now married with a stable income and out of the parentals.
In high school, you dream about growing up; living on your own, experiencing life's adventures, finding someone you can love for the rest of you life, and just becoming your own individual person. Or at least, that's what I dreamt of.
I'm currently living that dream. But for some reason, I'm wanting more. Needing more. I'm at a very pivotal time in my life where I can potentially lose the person whom I've seen myself spending the rest of my life with. I love my wife, I am completely head over heels about her. But she doesn't feel the same about me. After being in a relationship for over 7 years, how do you continue to make things work?
I find myself questioning how my grandparents have been married for so long. They've been together for over 50 years. Of course they've had their fair share of ups and downs. But I always wonder if they still love one another, or are they content with how their lives are?
You know, you interact with a lot of different individuals in your lifetime, never knowing who you're going to come across. Then you meet this specific person, who changes your perspective on life and turns your world upside down. Upon meeting them, they have a positive influence on your entire lifestyle and views on life. There is nothing in the world that can change your mood or life. Then one day, it all stops. Life becomes one dimensional and nothing excites you anymore. What is the next step?
