It's amazing what some people will do for the perfect vision of happiness. Someone I know has just told me she's become engaged to a guy who pretty much comes off a twat. And this opinion has come from what SHE has told me. And i'm apparently not the only one who is shocked by this sudden announcement...

I just think a lot of people are happy to go diving for the first thing that comes along, in fear that the same opportunity won't arise again. I'm with girlfriend number 3, after two failed relationships. I could have threw everything I had into the first girl; got engaged, got her pregnant, truly have myself thrown in at the deep end. But I didn't. It didn't work out, we both realised that, and we moved on. The second relationship... you all know pretty much what happened with that, and while it was more serious, we were both still lucky to come out of it unscathed in the long term.

This relationship could be the one for me. The one I would be more than happy to see myself being in for the rest of my life. But i've been lucky in this respect. Some people are blinded and panic with relationships, thinking each new one is immediately 'the one'.

Just take your time, for YOUR sake... if you go diving head-first into everything that comes your way, you're risking the real possibility of being hurt, and in a bad way too. I'm not saying you should be cautious with EVERYTHING... I mean jesus, you can still turn the telly on hastily! :P But consider the things that can and will change your life... because quite often these are events which you don't get 2nd chances at.
