"Better Late Than Never"...or is it?

"What's meant to be will always find a way."

 So I've been wanting to write for a few days now, especially since I'm home and whatnot. But nothing seemed inspiring enough & I would find it frustrating looking at the blog. But today something changed. And guess what the inspiration was? Yes, that's right-How I Met Your Mother! 


If you don't watch HIMYM, then you should start watching it. It really is as awesome as all your friends say it is...anyway, so in the episode that inspired me, this is what happened: Robin interviewed someone who believed that she could calculate peoples' compatibility and then convinced Ted to go see her. Reluctantly, he went there and was shocked to hear that there were only 8 people perfect for him in NYC. Five days later, he comes back to this lady to find out that there is actually no one perfect for him...except someone that already has a boyfriend. Let me emphasize this: Ted's compatibility with this girl was 9.6, where as her compatibility with her current boyfriend was 8.5. Ted was upset that the one person that was almost perfect for him (9.6) was already with someone else...and he couldn't do anything about it because he later learned that she was getting married that same weekend. (And yes, she actually did seem perfect for him.) 

But that got me thinking about a few things that everyone worries about at least once in their lives: how do you know when you've found the right person? Will some calculations be able to tell you that? What if you find the person too late? What if you have someone and then you find someone better? There are so many more questions, but I guess after talking to my friends and cousins, I've put together my own answers. These are "temporary" answers because I won't REALLY be able to tell you until after I have found 'my right guy'.

I personally don't think that calculations can tell two people that they are perfect for each other. I understand that answering questions can tell people who they may get along with...but what about couples that are completely the opposite yet they get along so well? I think that even if peoples' perfect ideas of dates aren't the same, they can still appreciate each others' ideas. Even if people have different values, I think that they can blend together to form a new set of values that can be the basis for their new family. I truly do believe that opposites can attract, but that doesn't mean that similar people won't get along. I guess what I'm trying to say is that give anyone and everyone a chance because you never know when someone is right for you. And just because it doesn't seem right the first time, that doesn't mean that it won't be right the second time. So give it another chance. [Not gonna lie, this is very difficult to explain through writing.]

Anyway. I think that once you find the right person, that's it. There is no one else out there for you, as long as once in your life you are completely sure that this is the person, then that's it. Think about it this way-let's say that you are with someone for 15 years and you absolutely love someone. And then one day, you start getting along with someone else. Do you really think that you love this person more than you've loved the other person for 15 years? Or do you think that maybe you just need something exciting in your current relationship? I really do think that someone new might just make you feel great and amazing and young and pretty/handsome for awhile, but try adding something new into your current relationship and see where that takes you!

I know that most of my friends aren't even married yet, so this might be a weird post to read but I'm sure most of you have already thought about this or talked about it with someone. I think that it's something interesting to think about--but don't over-think anything when it comes to relationships because "it's all from the heart". Does that make sense?

Hmm I think that's it for now. Thoughts? Any stories?

Oh, random thing before I'm done-sometimes, if you know that someone is really right for you, then fight it. Make sure you make things work out for you two because you will be so happy after wards. Don't let anything or anyone get in the way. 

Totally just lost my train of thought, way too many people are at home right now. Yay Spring break!

So long. <3
