Lovely Lady

I was thinking today about relationships and I guess some relationships fathom me. Granted, Brad and I have not always been perfect and have gone through a lot but in the end I always knew we loved each other and if it was meant to be it would be meant to be. I cannot understand why people stay in unhappy relationships. Is it because of the kids? Is it because they are scared to be alone? Is it because they are too confortable? Is it a combination of a few things? I think it could be. I think sometimes people get so comfortable in the life that they have that they cannot see anything different. But should we sacrifice our happiness and potential happiness for something that is not working. I have taken several relationship classes and I am far from being an expert, however, I think that we are in a bad place when we stop caring about our happiness. We only have one life and we need to live it to it's fullest. I am not saying that we should not work at our relationships. However, if it's not working and you have tried and tried, why not try something new? Try to find yourself. I know that when I finally took the time to find out who I was and all my quirky (and at times annoying) personality traits, Brad and I started doing really well. I finally grew up and am happy with myself. I also think alot of people rush into marriage before fully being ready or mature as a person. I will admit I was someone who thought that you should get married young. But in the end, I am happy Brad and I have waited because we are so much more happy and so much more mature. So in the end, after all my rambling, I just want to say that we should be happy. But we should make ourselves happy. No one can make you as happy as you can make yourself and in the end your happiness is what will get you through all the tough things in this life.
