Meant To Be

“What's meant to be will always find a way.” -Trisha Yearwood 

“Everything happens for a reason. Every action has a reaction. Always remember that whats meant to be will always find a way to come about.”-Anonymous

Over the past weeks I have been doing quite a bit of thinking about my recently ended relationship, and I have come to one very major realization: If it were meant to be, it would be. If we were meant to be together, it would not have been so hard, so difficult to do so. There would not have been so many walls in front of us. It would have been easier. I am not saying that relationships do not have difficulties; they do. What I am saying is for that relationship, for my relationship, if it were meant to happen, we would not have been stonewalled. We would have found some way to make it work; there would have been some way to make it work. But it was not meant to be.

It took me awhile to realize this because at first, I was in it. I was too involved. Then, when I was no longer in the relationship, I was too hurt to even think of anything like that. My thoughts were focused on just getting through it and getting through the day. It was only after the hurt was gone, after I was no longer so completely involved and could think about it more clearly, that I was able to take a step back from it all and assess it from the outside. That was when I came to this realization. I came to realize that it should not be so hard to be together; that if we were truly meant to be together, there would have been a way.

I also realized that maybe we were meant to be together for those two years. Maybe we were not meant to last, but maybe, for whatever reason, we each needed the other at that point in our lives. However, that part is over now, and we do not need each other the same way anymore. We are each moving in different, opposite, directions in our lives.; I would like to think we helped each other get there, get to these points in our lives, but that it is no longer needed. Like I said, if it were meant to be, it would have been.

Please note: I would have emailed you Jill but I couldn't find an email address on your blog! So I just posted what I was going to email you here through the comments. Feel free to delete this after reading. :)

I'm visiting various blogs tonight as I'm trying to promote my new blog.

It's called "Give Jon a Dollar". A Social Experiment in Human Generosity.

It's located at:
http://www.givejonadollar.com

I imagine you will probably get a kick out of it! If possible, I wanted to see if you would do a blog post on my new website on your blog.

In return, I will do a post each day where I link back to the blogs that link to me with my own commentary.

After you make your post, please email me at givejonadollar@live.com with the direct link and I will link back.

Hope to hear from you!
