Things seem to have a way of sneaking up on you. Today for instance, I'm sitting here reading and I just start wondering what it is that I am doing in my life, in my relationship with my boyfriend. The first part of that question has been kind of shaky up until recently. I figured out what I really want to do next year, which is teach for america, and now I'm on my way to getting there. But the second part... it's still a mystery. We have been together almost three years but there is something odd going on in our relationship right now. I find it hard to express these thoughts in any other terms but in writing. I don't know how to talk to him about it, I don't talk to my friends about it because it always seems like they just want to say the right thing that will make me happy, but sometimes that doesn't really help. So I write. I think we are at an impass- I am about to graduate from college and he has still yet to really begin. We seem to be at two different places in our lives and suddenly we are having trouble reconciling how they fit together. We are very different people but that is one of the things I love about him. But how different is too different? I'm starting to think that we are each on one end of the spectrum and maybe it is irreconcilable. Can you love someone and at the same time know that it may never work?
How do I know that if I let him go, he was not truly the one for me?
