Shit. After I posted my comment and saw how ...Ah. Shit. After I posted my comment and saw how huge it was I kicked myself. <br /><br />And just to show you how I can't stop. <br /><br />Love and beauty are in the imperfections for sure. But maybe that's just how I've convinced myself to stay in dirty Brooklyn for as long as I have. I lovehate it but am scared shitless to move to anywhere more pristine. Same as my marriage. Haha! Totally kidding. Sorry for the blabbing comments.

I think as kids, our parents do a good job ...Cool. I think as kids, our parents do a good job at playing the perfect example to send us running from marriage. A successful marriage has to be rigid and perfect and happy and nicey. Right? Yuck! No. Like you said (I think), if you are the right kind of person, you will dive in to the realness of something knowing you will come out changed and with renewed perspective. I feel like the only aspect I want to "hold on to" is the part that knows it will always be "expanding and contracting" and we can only really grow and learn through challenges... when I think of a beautiful marriage I see an intricate braid with billions of strands that make up a portion that go apart before they come together briefly then apart again...and it's beautiful and strong and maybe each side gains a few more strands for the next time it comes together... growing. Apart and together. But I guess like tree planting it's always a question of if you will continue another season. I don't know. I think you do. No matter what shape it takes... maybe it is always takes a new shape and that's how you continue to take new challenges. Instead of a braid it could be a giant boulder tumbling out of control down a mountain. It's constantly hitting things and pieces of it go flying off but it is also sort of collecting bits of things as it goes down the mountain. Haha! I don't know what I'm talking about. Obviously rambling... I like this subject.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796585638639262919noreply@blogger.com
