You just KNOW

My yesterday's post hinted at a personal issue that came up and affected my Thursday mood. I am still reverberating a bit from it, and dont know if I even want to talk about it in detail, as it is extremely personal, but knowing me, I will probably give a full discourse sometime in three months....

What is significant about said issue is how it gave rise to an epiphany. A very serious, and somewhat scary epiphany, though it is infinitely wonderful in its generalization.

It hit me out of the blue, like a mental lightning bolt, that my significant other just might be the ONE.

You know, the one who you see yourself spending the rest of your life with.

The one who you see growing old with, the one whose babies I would be proud and happy to carry and nurture with, the ONE.

Of course, logical, practical me came out with her arguments: you've known each other less than three months, its too soon, its the honeymoon phase, all those endorphins from sex are addling your brain, etc....

seriously, I just KNOW. From the guts of my soul, the beat of my heart, and even in the back of the mind of logical, practical me, I just KNOW.

And its a little scary to be 110% sure about such a thing.
