This site is a synopsis of a young adults life.

How often is it that you would find someone like myself up at 1:15am??? Almost never, unless I am suckered into by some means. I am a person that likes to get to bed early and rise early so that I can take care of business in the morning and then play in the afternoon but tonight I am having late night anxiety and I just feel like venting and being really straight foward with myself.

I was pondering upon a random subject the other day and I came up with one of the many true deffinitions of love and this is how it goes: When you truely fall in love, all of the partners imperfections turn into the very objects that make them attractive in your own eyes. I think this is a candid statement that needs to be taken into consideration by almost all couples. Often times imperfections get in the way of many otherwise succesful relationships.

It was then today that I came onto a devine inspirational moment that has caused me to question my very own judgement about relationships, because to this day I struggle with accepting other peoples imperfections, neverless my own. Day after day I try to take inventory and then push myself to be a better person and I struggle to discern all the things that are a hinderance to me being a better person because those very characteristics bother me. Now, if I can not come to justification with my own perfections daily then how can I even nullify someone eles that I think I feel compasion for??!? This is a very troublesome toppic to me because from my definition above I am unable to accept my own actions let alone somebody elses.

On a final note, I have had two sources come up to me and question my current position. These are infact very reliable sources with the utmost creditablility and I do indeed take them into consideration but they have not shaken me off my "podeom" so to say, yet and my feelings stay very true to where I stand.


Once again I want to reiterate that I still stand strong by my current commitments and investments with my emotions and my word (which is about the best promise I've found you can get now-a-days) and nothing has wavered me from the prize. Some may speculate that it is more than coincidence that two different sources said this but I draw the conclusion at this time that they are totally random.

Best wishes, Joshua Price

I agree with your assertion with some qualifications.

During infatuation, I believe we tend to be blind to the "imperfections" or quirks of our partners. Once we move past the lust and infatuation stage of a relationship, we begin to be annoyed by those quirks, and those annoyances can become major obstacles in our relationships.

However, I believe that when we have cared about someone for a long period of time, those quirks and "imperfections" become endearing and even attractive to us. We see our partners as a whole person and are able to recognize the beauty of the mannerisms and traits that, while they might not be appealing to those outside of the relationship, are unique to our partner. We then have unconditional love for our partners.

Love is great, isn't it?
