One day love will find you; break those chains that bind you

I've been considering for a couple days what song to use next and this came to me in a moment of inspiration. The song is called "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" by one of the musical juggernauts of the 80's, Journey. Like Depeche Mode, I was raised listening to these guys.

I know a lot of people are happy being single and are more than content going through their life in such a manner. For those, you will be totally unable to relate to this blog entry. I am the opposite. I have long sought after love, and the happiness of sharing my life with another. I've been wanting to get married since I was 18, though I know now I wasn't ready then. I believe I am ready now, though, so I seek. Being single has felt like being chained down to a life I do not want and never asked for.

I have been engaged once and in another serious relationship in the past. Both of these times, it finally felt like my life was on the right track. Obviously, they didn't last as I realized I was with the wrong person. It made me happy for a time, but it was not what I was seeking. When the relationships came to an end (or the knowledge arrived that they would end), it felt like I was shackled again.

I am in a relationship again now. I am very happy with this girl. Things feel differently, and I feel like maybe those chains are finally being broken instead of just temporarily broken.

I hope so.
