If there's anything I should have learned from the events of last week it's that I shouldn't trust the rapid changes in life as much as the slowly evolving ones. Oh, sure, there are times when change happens quickly, when you are completely uprooted from your previous existence and placed in a totally brand new situation, and he need to cope immediately to survive.
But I am not talking about those changes. I am talking about the ones that should come up slowly. I have fallen into relationships too quickly, too often, and now I know that this is not right.
I am beginning to realize now how real love is supposed to evolve. It should start with the look, maybe the smile, the pleasant conversation. Then days, weeks, months later something starts to change, almost imperceptibly. Like a seedling planted; one can't expect for it to be planted one day and be fully grown two days later. It needs the right conditions, and it needs to be nourished, slowly. If it is meant to grow, it will.
That is what I need to remind myself, over and over. If it is meant to happen, really, truly meant to happen, it will – in due time.
