Peace of Mind
By Jolie Fatale
Do you believe in fate, or kismet? If you’ve had a really bad relationship in your past, do you feel like that was necessary to help you grow and change and get to the point or even the physical place in your life where you could meet your true love? Or do you just chalk those up to bad choices or bad luck? I guess what I am asking is whether or not you believe our destiny is predetermined or guided by a force larger than ourselves, or if it’s all free will and random luck?..
I believe in fate to an extent. I think certain things happen for a reason and that we need to accept that we cannot control them. It’s kind of like the best way to battle a hurricane is to sit it out and let it pass, or to be ’spontaneous’ and go with the chaos, don’t fight it, and wherever you land, just pick yourself up and start again. I’m also coming to the realization that relationships are all about timing. Sometimes you meet a great guy and he’s in a relationship, or he’s leaving the country, or he’s too immature for a serious relationship and it doesn’t work out. It’s not because he doesn’t necessary have feelings for you but you didn’t meet at the right time, for both of you, if you had met 5 years before or after, it could have worked, but the ‘timing’ is just not right. So we need to put it down to experience and let him go. (Obviously there are times where we can’t or won’t but that’s part of the process, learning when we have to let people go.)…
Although I’ve been told by exes that there is no man on a white horse that is coming to sweep me off my feet. I do not give up on the hope and I know that my destiny will be fulfilled! Just trying to find that Peace of Mind and I know its possible..
Thoughts?

I think every girl on the face of this earth has felt the way you just described. KEEP BELIEVING. Timing is everything, and you have to really wonder if you’re ready to meet the One. I’ve had to admit that myself in many cases and be okay with it. I’m in a good relationship now, and met him when I was least expecting it, but if it ever ends, I’ll be struggling with the same questions. Don’t forget that what you’re looking for in someone else, can be found in you.

That was a rant? Yes, yes it was. Sorry I had to say it.
But to answer what I think is your question…I think everything happens for a reason. God has a funny little way of working things out how he sees fit, so why wouldn’t relationships fall in that category?
I think sometimes people focus so much on what they’re missing that they forget to look at how much they have.
We aren’t owed anything. We don’t deserve anything. Quite frankly, we’ve been given more than enough.
I just ranted…I have a lot more to say, but I’ll end now.

Please replace the word rant with ramble in my previous comment.
