Windows…

I have this theory on love. I’m just gonna put it out there…

I think that most of us are pretty average, we’re a mix of extraordinary and ordinary. We’re capable of loving and being loved. I think that what makes a person special to you is not necessarily that they are so much more special than anyone else, but rather the “window.” The window is a time and place in your life when you let your guard down, when your heart is open to letting someone one in. This can be on a friendship level, or on a more intimate level.

Once in, it’s the things you experience together that endear the person to you. Because of what you share and have shared, you are special.

Take Sam and I. I am ordinary, sort of the definition of it, a simple girl that doesn’t really stand out in any way, looks, brains or otherwise. But, when we met we both were at a place in our lives where we had that window open. Now  of course, I am very stand out to Sam…:D

I don’t really believe in soul mates. I don’t believe that there is just one person with whom you can really connect. I think it’s rather the place you are at in your life that makes you ready to connect. If you keep your “windows” open, there is love all around.
Okay, this isn’t perfectly articulated, but, ya get the gist of it.

    i loved it honey and agree with that. i think i’m a pretty guarded person when it comes to letting someone in close but i know when i do i always find i can connect in so much more of a deeper and personal, meaningful way.
    maybe that’s why in heaven we’ll be able to love everyone because we won’t have any guards up and so it’s easy to get through the window and sometimes if we really like the person then we’ll have a whole open gate, not justt a window. ha!
    hey, i loved the pics too!
    love you tons and it’s so nice to be able to get onto your blog again. i guess this is one of the benefits of open fields in contrast with being where i was before…
