R.A.T.L.

Today I had a Revelation About True Love. Hence R.A.T.L.

Here's how it goes. I'd been thinking lately about true love, looking for inspiration for a couple of new stories of mine that I've recently started, and I realized something. People generally go out, or enter into a relationship with someone whom lives in the same area as them. They even marry this person, and if this is the case, then they usually feel that this 'one person' is the one 'true love' of their life. Which got me thinking. In what way would this person still be your true love then? Because if this way of thinking is 'correct', and that usually 'the one' for you lives in the same city as you do, then true love would be limited by the place where you live. But how is that possible? Love is limitless, is it not?

Of course I'm not saying that your true love will definitely be living in the same city where you live, or even the same country, but from what I have seen and understood, this is generally the case. Has fate somehow determined to make it easier to find love and help us on our search for love by narrowing down the places where we have to look? I highly doubt it.

I mean, people go on vacations and move to different cities, different countries even for various reasons. For work, for family, to run away from something, to gain something, and of course they meet new people and become close to them. They may even find their 'one true love' amongst these people.

But think about it. If they hadn't moved or holidayed there in the first place, they wouldn't have met that 'special someone' nor entered into a relationship with them. They might have instead have met someone else in the city where they live and believe that that person instead is 'the one' whom they will spend the rest of their life with.

Then don't forget that there are those that meet that 'one person' whom they are 'madly in love with', up to the point where they would be willing to say goodbye to everything they had known so far and move somewhere else, somewhere completely different to be with that person. It has been known to happen, but a question raised here is, even if you 'knew' that they were the 'special somebody', would you really be willing to go that far to move overseas just to be with them?

I fear this is all too confusing for my brain to comprehend. I must stop here before my brain explodes. >.<"
