When I think back to my high school boyfriend, Sam, I really think he was right for me at that time in my life. He was such a sweet guy who wouldn't hurt a fly. He was the perfect " first boyfriend" for a young and sensitive teenage girl. I knew that we would never get married, but I still loved him unconditionally, and at the time we were together, he was perfect. Now, fast forward to Max. He was a fantastic college boyfriend (in the beginning that is). He didn't care if I went out with my friends, he loved to go out and have a couple drinks, and was up for anything fun. That is SO opposite from Sam. Max also made me believe in love again, and he made me feel healed from the pain Sam caused. Max was clearly the right guy for me to be with at that time in my life. This makes me wonder, is there ever going to be one person that is right for us all the time?
I really believe that both Sam and Max were perfect for me at different times in my life. This makes me hopeful that there is another guy out there that will be right for me at another stage in my life. Some people may be scared by this thought, but it is something that excites me. I feel that it takes the pressure off. Yes, I have had two failed relationships but, when I was in them they were the right fit for me, and they each taught me things that the other never could have. I think it is okay to not have one perfect person. I think that having many perfect people is better than one. This way we can learn from each experience and make each one better than the last.
Until next time!
