I have found for the first time a relationship with myself that I can appreciate and love and at the same time a relationship with another person that I can appreciate and love and even harder to do- I have them both at the same time. We are both very passionate dreamers, who almost never use reason except in arguments against each other. This is because if we both decide that we are going to Germany, then we will just talk about how amazing it will be, and where we will go, and what we will do before and after it. But if we were both the reason in this relationship, then we would both tell each other how we could never get anything done, and keep putting things off to be more sensible and it would be all scheduling, planning and list writing (which we both do too much of). But if we switch off, being the passion and the reason, we just fight each other, one with great ideas, the other telling them how they can't work. We have a new plan. It is to be a little bit reason and a little bit passion each.
And so starts our journey. We are no longer putting of our dreams. But we are hoping to plan them accordingly and make them happen.
We will be moving out of Andrew's parents house in two weeks, his first time leaving home, with no savings. We will be driving to Virginia on the hopes at finding work. This is the longest we have ever driven, and we usually get lost driving around the corner. I have a friend who is allowing us to stay with her till June when the apartment I have found for us, with the pretty cool roommate I met on Suicide Girls will have vacancy. We will then be living in our new apartment until at least November when the lease is up. Then who knows. Maybe back to Philly, maybe a visit to my cousin in Seattle, or my other cousin in Germany, or my friend in San Diego. I have no idea. But we are hoping to STOP TALKING about doing things and actually do them. So Virginia it is. This may be disastrous but at least we have left Delco. finally. and are setting our eyes on something new. I want to dream big, but I would rather do big.
"Your reason and your passion are the rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift or be held at a standstill in the mid-seas. For reason ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction." Kahlil Gibran
