Watch for Falling Rocks

What is it that brings a long term relationship to its knees? Has it been doomed from the get-go? Is the relationship not fulfilling in a way it once was? Has one or both of the parties changed what they truly stand for? Or is it maybe just the way things work with today's younger generation?

One of my best friends is going through a rough stretch right now because he and his lady have decided to part ways... For now...

Something he said really sticks in my mind and I've thought about it a lot today. He said, "We both see our future together, but the path we're on doesn't lead there." What does that mean? I'm sure there are a million things it can mean because its unique to each of us and we analyze it using our own personal experiences.

Some may say that, "The path does lead you to your future, its just you're heading into a tunnel without your headlights on." Others may say, "Thats great and all, but if the path doesn't lead there, it just doesn't lead there. Don't make it out to be something its not."

Myself, well, I tend to side more with the first opinion I guess. I'm always an optimist when it comes to relationships, especially when you have deep feelings for someone else that they may not necessarily be aware of. Where there's a will there's a way... Cliche I know, but hey cliches are cliches for a reason right?

I know I'm not shedding any new light on this topic or offering anyone anything terribly meaningful in my words, but I might suggest you reach out to your loved ones and let them know where you stand and how much they mean to you.

In this case, I stand right behind you guys, the both of you, and I'll be there whenever you need me. I'm just a phone call away.
