Commitment

One of my English papers I had to write was on modern marriage and commitment. Which I think today is an epic fail. Don't get me wrong I believe in that one person who is like your significant other, and soul mates. I just think the word love is used too loosely. The word love is too wide of a meaning to be described in this post. More importantly I think we all don't grasp how much effort it takes to be fully committed to someone else, and the work that is to be distributed by both sides for the relationship to work. I'm not married, nor will I be anytime soon, but I have my opinions based on people who I'm surrounded by. It's the regular spiel, "we are so in love, always and forever, there's nobody else out there for me...even though Its only been two weeks." I've seen those fail way too many times. It was those exact situations that made me just never want to be in a relationship. I was too much about me to worry about someone else's feelings. Then again we are all different. Me personally I jump in with my head, and if you are lucky you'll earn my heart. Though to my surprise I am now with this amazing person which was completely unexpected, and I am having the best time in my life. He's definitely one of the good ones which you don't come across too often. Believe me I've had my fair share of jerks. I am very much in love with this person, and it took me by surprise when I first realized. Sometimes I feel so high up in the clouds, and I never want to come down. Honestly like anybody else I love the feeling. At the same time anything could happen, the best you can do is try to be honest, faithful, and put a real effort in the relationship. I always thought something like this would happen much later. We only have one life and I don't want to be so cautious as to miss out on a thing like this. We are both young though, and have plans for our lives. Right now we're enjoying each other, and the future will be dealt with when it arrives. Now back to the point (I ramble a lot). If you are going to make the decision to be with one person make sure they mean enough to you to do that, or you mean enough to them. Love is truly blind, or the illusion of love. It can make you do stupid things. There is absolutely nothing wrong with going with your heart, but we have brains for a reason. Use it! Please I'd appreciate any comments, and your opinions.
