''The One"

Let me just start off by saying that I don't believe in "the one."

I don't.

I don't believe that there is only one person out there in the world that can make you incredibly happy and that you will marry one day. I don't believe that Heavenly Father created only one person on this entire earth that is meant specifically for you and nobody else. I just don't.

I believe that there are so many people out there that can make you happier then you can imagine!

To give you and idea of where I am coming from with this, my roommate and I were talking about this idea recently about "the one" and I came to a kind of realization. I told her that I believe that there are so many people out there that could be potentially labeled by some as "the one", but there could be something that is making it so they aren't. Timing.

I believe that timing is what determines who we will someday call our other half, our spouse, and our eternal companion. You can meet someone that you think is going to be the person you marry, but maybe they aren't on the same timing as you. Now that's not to say that they won't ever be, but for now they aren't. Maybe they still have some growing up to do, or maybe you do. Maybe they are just at a different crossroad then you in school, work, or just life in general. But I believe that timing is what will help us to each find the person that we will marry someday. It may not be today, or tomorrow, or even next week, but timing will play a part in when you do meet, or even reconnect with that person. Maybe they have goals and dreams that they want to fulfill before they get married, but you are ready now. I do believe though that someday you will find someone that is at the same general point in their lives as you, and that is when people find "the one."

That kind of leads into another thing that I have been thinking a lot about lately.

I've seen a lot of people get married and the older I get the more of my friends and family are getting engaged and married. I look at some of these couples that are engaged and think oh they are so ready to get married! And I look at others and think are they really ready to get married? It's interesting to see the difference between those that seem SO ready to get married and spend the rest of their lives with someone, and those that maybe cause some hesitant smiles and words of congratulations from others. Obviously I've never been married so I don't know what it is like, but I would dare to say that no body is ever fully ready for marriage. Living with, having to think about and even caring for another human being is something that I don't think we will fully ever know or be ready for until it actually happens.

*I know that some may not agree with this, but like I said, I've never been married or even engaged, but from the outside, this is what I believe is true. 

I know that this post seems random and kind of unusual for me, especially since my last post was awhile ago and honestly kind of makes me depressed when I go back a read it, but it is something that has been on my mind a lot recently. I think it is because so many people in my life are getting married. My sister, one of my roommates, and so many friends are all getting married so my life has a lot to do with this kind of stuff right now. It makes me really think about life in general and this post was really inspired by conversations that I have had with several friends recently. Honestly, I don't even know if any of what I just wrote makes sense to other people. Someone else might read this and be so utterly confused, but I guess that is what happens when I have so many things that I want to write about.
