I enjoyed this. I relate to him. I remember realizing that there is not only one destined soulmate for everyone, and that it's not limited to one chance in life. I realized this after I chose someone and committed to them. Sure it made me wonder about my decision, but it also took the pressure off somehow, left more of the emphasis on the choice and the freedom in choosing that relationship... wearing it like a loose garment, and it can grow and evolve with me over time. And the other person does too.
Thanks, Jeannie. And interesting take, for sure. I think the character is very confused. And to be honest, I'm not sure how things turn out for him. But based on where the story landed, I don't think things turned out too good.
Thanks to you, Chris, for taking the time to read the weirdness streaming out of my mushy brain. Yes yes, the chaos. Very glad the LDR period of my life is done -- hopefully for good.
Loving is the bravest of call acts... and wow how refreshing to read a personal account with no fear of "how it might come across" in it! But dude... really... why are you settling?
Thanks, Christopher! And big congrats on getting married.
Happily, I've found peace and love. I'm engaged and slated to get married next summer. It's just a story. But I can't say I hadn't felt similar emotions at one point in my life. Here, I'm taking that emotion to the extreme.
Have a great week and thanks for taking the time to read :)

Yeah I didn’t relate to him so much on the “can be made to happen” part. Definitely shouldn’t force it dude! lol
Great story! Oh the glorious chaos that is distance relationships… couldn’t help but relate it to, then chuckle at my past experiences. Ha ha!
I’m enjoying the short stories and mix of other weekly pieces. Thanks for it all!

It’s fiction! Just a story :)
Oh ahaha! I could delete my comment, but I'll leave it here for other to have a good laugh ;)
If anything it read a very realistic and vulnerable account so that must be a sign of good writing!
Wonderful story. Thanks for putting it out there for us. A lot of it felt familiar to me.
Thank you so much, Lewis. I really appreciate your comment and support! Have a great weekend.
Wow. Truly.
(Compliment.)
There's a lot going on here, Matt. :)
I just got married for the first time last September. I was 46. The thing I learned is the Lord works in ways I could never imagine.
My hope is that you find peace and love. The greatest is love. Good luck!
