Sometimes you hear things that catch you off-guard in their profoundness. For instance, today I was at an appointment with my new GP, and he said, following a conversation on Wii boxing, “it’s amazing how many women settle for just a piece of a man, because they’d rather have that piece than have nothing at all–but of course you would never do this, I can tell”. I mean, we did not touch on the subject of my relationship, or whether or not I even had a special someone…It just came out of nowhere. So it got me thinking about that Pearl Jam song, and how many women give up on looking for their better man, and settle with what they can get or already have, even if it is completely unfulfilling. The fear of loneliness is prolific. Most of the relationships I come into contact with are miserable ones, yet they survive on the basis of fear. But, how can you let go of something to reach for something that may not exist? It’s the ultimate leap of faith…Faith in yourself. On the other side, there are people who always see the grass as greener on the other-side of the relation-hill. These people are also afraid, but it’s not loneliness that plagues them, instead, it’s the fear of being trapped. It’s difficult to say one is worse than the other. But in any relationship, isn’t it required that some sort of internal compromise is necessary? And at what point do the stipulations surrounding that compromise become too demanding, and cause you to part ways or live unhappily? Love is ultimately a depressing topic.
