It is funny the way we perceive situations, people, our lives in general. When we are 12 or 13, even at older ages, 20 or 21, there are some things we are convinced are for forever.Funny word that, 'Forever', I am sure if anyone was ever actually faced with a situation that lasts forever they would try reject it when they grew tired of it. But we all, at one stage in our lives, hoped that something would last forever.For me, my Grandfather was going to live forever. He died when I was 12. So much for forever. When I was 13, my best friend [of the time] was going to be there forever, always my best friend. That lasted until I turned 20. But, just because I have come to the conclusion that nothing can possibly last forever doesn't mean that I shut out possibility. A life lived in fear is not a life... It is to walk around with your eyes closed. My Fiance and I have been together on and off for over a year. Have I thought about forever? Truthfully, well of course.She is after all my fiance I want 'I love you' to be forever. This euphoric feeling is one that I wish to last, but that doesn't mean in another 2 years time she and I are still going to be madly in love. Before we started dating, I didn't want a relationship for the reason that it could end. Obviously it has to end one day - whether we end up getting married and growing old together; the end will come when one of us dies. When I met my Fiance at work at first she was an annoyance, then an acquaintance, then a friend, then a crush and well the rest is quite obvious. She is now not only my lover but my best friend. It is a wondrous feeling, if I had not let go of my fears I would have missed out on the chance to feel truly alive. Where my everyday existence is shattered and I am soaring into the heavens, knowing and trusting in the certainty that when I fall [As the theory goes - what goes up must come down] I have someone who is going to catch me and never let my feet even touch the ground until I am ready. I have now come to the conclusion that it is not the things we do that we regret more, it is the things that we do not. We are always left whispering to the wind, 'what if'
