It's got to be the athiest in me. I think there are lots of possibles out there for everyone. It's down to us, individually, to do the leg work, FIND the people we're compatible with, throw back the ones that don't or can't work, and put some effort into maintaining relationships with the ones that do.

Personally, I find comfort in the thought. It means that we're not doomed to lonliness for making an all to human mistake. How horrifying to think that if you don't take the one chance, or move to the right town, you won't meet the ONE person in 6 billion who is perfect for you? Cause, with no puppeteer pulling the strings in my world, there's no guarantee I'd even get one chance at meeting them, let alone managing to do it when I don't have spinach in my teeth, or a rotten mood on.

It also means I don't feel like I can be complacent about the wonderful man I have found. He wasn't meant for me, he wasn't a gift from on high. He's a person with wants and needs, strengths and flaws. We met by random chance and great good luck. And what we have together is so sweet and strong and supportive because we chose each other, and we choose to make it so....not because we couldn't help it.

What, you expected my ramblings to make sense?
