Romance is about candlelit dinners and flowers and sweet nothings. My idea of love is when someone wants to make your life easier. Taking out the garbage unasked every once in a while, for instance. And saying "I love you" is different than showing it.
Gosh...this is SO true. I took it a lil differently. Words...we can speak and say things but they don't mean anything til you actually do something to show how much you mean it. And love...sometimes you don't realize how strongly you love someone until something happens where you have to give up something precious to you in order to prove how much you love that person. It hurts sometimes...but love is so precious that it is worth it.
I don't usually write about anything Shidduch related. But I saw this today and it really captures how I view shidduchim. People have their theories and opinions about how and why and what. If i get my nose done, go to singles events, make more contacts, anything, then maybe I'll get married sooner. Compromise more. Maybe we need more incentives for shadchanim? My theory. G-d runs the world. He makes Shidduchim. G-d has no crisis. The end.
So, yoiu know how i was going on adn on about bridging the gap...yea well i forget it this week. so....help me brainstorm here, purim, sping break, dressing up, school, parking lot full(maybe), fasting, megilla...kay i think i got a starting point... so yesterday i went to school, i dont normally go to school on thursdays, but i had to make up a lab that i missed bcz of purim. so when i went to park the normal parking lot was full, so i had to go to the other one(you know the one that i got lost in last time?) so there is a sign that if you are parking for marta, then you need to park on the third floor,well last time i tried to do that, i got totally lost, so i just parked in any spot and ran to catch the train. when i got back, i found my car fairly easily and i was pulling out and i gave the lady my ticket, she says "that'll be four dollars sweetheart" and then i said "even if im just marta parking" and she said that i had to go to the third floor to park and...
Words are just words till there are actions that prove what you say...
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'm not a romantic.
