WOW! And I say it louder.

One of the moments in life that changed the way I think.

I was at work one day.  A older guy came in, prolly around 60~70.  As I was helping him, we talked.

He asked if I was married.  I remember chuckling and I said, ‘I am only 22′.  He went on to tell me how long he had been married.  Something like 50 years or something, I don’t recall the exact number, but stopped dead in his track and looked at me, stared sincerely in my eyes and asked me.

‘You know why I am still married?’

The look in his eye, the way he asked that.  I was confused and curious.  I still remember it clearly.

His answer was powerful.

‘We both are too stubborn to leave each other…  That my boy, that’s called love.’

I still think back on that.  Too stubborn to leave each other.  What does that really mean.

When ever I meet a new woman, I ask myself that. ‘Will I be too stubborn to leave this one? Will she be too stubborn to leave me?’

Love is an interesting emotion.  It can feel different for different people.  It makes us feel happy, sad, and angry.  Yet, we all, deep down inside, long for it.  We all want to be loved, and to love someone.  To grow old and enjoy life together.  To have a family of our own, whether that be kids or animals in the family you share.

I may not be at that point in my life to settle down.  The thought it nice though.  I will work on finding someone I am too stubborn to leave first.  Then go from there.

Will you be the one?
