Dear Readers,
Over the last few weeks, I've been talking a lot about dating. However, the main goal is to find a significant other, someone that you can share your life with. In this editorial, I would like to pay tribute to all the girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives that exist in our lives. Dating is another world, but no matter what people say I believe, the soul reason for its intricacy, is because people are looking for that "one" person. If you have found that person, then you know how dating is really just "school," to learn how to be your best in a committed relationship.
I've always had the mentality that when you are "dating," that's what you do, but when you have found someone you truly care about, and would like to share a lot of your life there is no feeling like it, and that's the beauty of it all. You can date and date and date, but when its that person you want to commit too, the light automatically can and should shutoff. This is also the reason why you'll find your friends disappear off the face of the earth during a relationship. As a friend, you may be disappointed, but as someone in a relationship you completely understand and is happy for him/her.
As much as dating is good way to gain perspective about relationships, its the relationships you develop that when you are fully committed, that really shows who you are. The way you look at your significant other, the way you think about them, and the way you may long for them when you are far away from them. As you grow mature in your relationships, you automatically are able to observe whether or not you would be able to share your life with that person. Once you have found it, its better than any type of "dating."
So for all of you in relationships today, I challenge you with this. Do something special for that one person you care about. It could be as simple as an unexpected phone call during the day, or as extravagant as some flowers. Keep that person in mind at all times because the alternative would also be what would your life be without them. For those of you, still searching, "practice" away, may you reach your goal soon enough.
Good Relationships.....make it a priority today.
Sincerely,
Devan
