Let It Ride

Sir Hugh Walpoe once said, ~The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous things, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It's sort of a divine accident.~ Let me ask you this question, do you think there is someone out there who is meant for every person? It's basically a simple question that has been asked themselves over and over again on occasion. For some the answers come quickly, yet for others the answer to is truly an unknown.

In some aspect, potential relationships are primarily a gamble and every roll of the dice determines how far or how close each of us will find true happiness. Oftentimes, one may think he or she has either a great roll or a great hand that being dealt to that person. yet, those proverbial dice that represent a possible potential relationship usually land on disappointment and one's cards will reveal a dead man's hand. Inevitably, each of us lose much more than money and the shirt of our backs so to speak, one loses a little bit of confidence. One just has to keep rolling the dice and hope he or she doesn't go completely broke in the end.

We've all chased after that dream guy or girl who, in some people's mind is a long shot, but it's a gamble of lifetime. It's that dream guy/girl who makes you tongue tied and made you somewhat feel like Kramer, a feeling most of us know all too well. It's the random acts of stupidity each of us go through in order to find out if there is a slight chance, if any, of coming up aces so to speak. Though we have left our middle/high school days behind, that juvenile mentality stays with us for years to come and never really outgrow it. The odds of succeed may not be in our favor, but a person can overcome those odds just by winning back one's own confidence.

In any case, a person that is having this sort of unlucky streak in one's life, it's nice to have that guy or girl friend to be sort of sponsor for one's addiction in a manner of speaking. In some ways, it's easier to talk to that person than trying to talk to that other person who you would risk gambling your whole life for. That one person who is supporting in your quest is friend that will laugh at your corny jokes, be absolutely comfortable around, and just be yourself. Inevitably, it's at that point maybe he or she has been placing the wrong bet on who one wants to be with, and it doesn't take a slap to the back of the head to realize that, which every person has come to in the end.

Anna Louise Strong said, ~To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult, our human loneliness is cause enough. But it's a hard quest worth making to find a comrade though whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.~ In retrospect, when you do stumble upon "the one" you don't necessarily change you your are, but rather be a better person for meeting him or her. If you think about it, it's the person you least expect that will make you believe that luck is on your side and things about to change for the better. Ultimately, when you gamble with your own heart, the thing to do is just close your eyes, throw the dice, and simply let it ride.
