Insights on love

My ex-roommate Ivy was sharing the happy news with me today that she has been attached for 2 weeks and how this all came about. I can't help but smile listening to her relate the string of events that led to the happy union 2 weeks ago.

While all I had to share was a bit of a sticky situation I am in lately, Ivy was quick to enlighten me.

It is probably human nature to want to be always in control of things, we want to know what is happening, where are we going, where is this leading, etc etc etc. Unfortunately we are not always in control and uncertainty is a terrible thing....it gnaws at you and breaks you down.

I have been dying for some form of closure to my little storm and could hardly sit and wait while inaction takes place. The pragmatic side of me says take charge but Ivy gently reminded me of gender roles and why they are in place for good reasons. Inaction is not necessarily a bad thing. Something a control freak like me has never tried to understand or believe in.

So they say "if you love someone, set him free, if he comes back to you, he's yours; if he doesn't, he never was".
