Unexpected Detours
The process of love sometimes means unexpected detours.
It really is amazing when someone comes into your life and you expect absolutely nothing out of it, but suddenly, right there in front of you, is everything you ever need. I guess sometimes, you meet a person and you just click, you’re comfortable with them, like you’ve known them your whole life and you don’t have to pretend to be anyone or anything, you’re just you because that’s how it should be.
Sometimes we don't need to find love, it automatically finds its way to reach you...
The best love is unexpected. You don’t just pick someone and cross your fingers it’ll work out, you meet them by fate and it’s an instant connection, and the chemistry between you is way above your head. You just talk and notice the way their lips curve when they smile or the color of their eyes and all at once you know you’re either lucky or screwed. Loving someone is a very active process. Love is not just a feeling you have; it’s supposed to accrue to the benefit of the loved one. A big part of love means consciously opening yourself up to your beloved and sharing with your partner from what’s best in you. This means consciously choosing and risking being vulnerable and trusting your partner and revealing yourself.

The opening up of oneself occurs relatively easily at the beginning of most romantic relationships because the euphoria of new love encourages this–sharing ourselves, opening ourselves is reciprocated and also helps to increase the mutual intoxication and euphoria of falling in love. We can take responsibility for our own life and relationship by making the choice to open ourselves and give and receive the love that those around us have for us as well as want and desire from us. Or we try to avoid that responsibility by continuing to act from the past and trying to love those around us from behind the safety and familiarity of our blocks and relics, and in spite of our blocks and relics, and see if we are actually able to love and be loved.
One day everyone will find someone, who chooses you and continues to choose you every day, and that's when you will be thankful everything happens the way it did.
