Universal Desire

Everyone wants one thing. LOVE. Everyone receives and gives love differently. If you find that match; that other person that receives the love you give with joy and happiness and you in turn also like the love they give, well then, you're one very lucky duck. Or other animal of your choosing. Confused yet? This is only the beginning.
If you grew up in the church, in a Christian setting, you might believe that "God answers prayers." That "God performs miracles." And you might be very right in that thinking. And that's a great thing to believe; especially when things go your way. But what if they don't? Are you being punished? Are you not being heard? Are you forgotten? Maybe God put you on his TO-DO list but you got bumped to the bottom, or deleted by God' dog pushing on keyboard buttons with his paws, because he was trying to get God's attention. Like all of us mortals on earth are.
There's another spiritual realm of thinking that says "The Universe" will give us what we ask for. When we visualize it. When we put out good vibes. Focus on what we really want. Put all our energy into a single thought or a single desire. You can get anything you want. And if that "thing" is a new bike, an XBOX or something tangible like that. I'm sure if you are always focusing on it, you will end up working towards obtaining that object, one way or another. Or the universe will surprise you with it as a gift.
But what if this "ONE thing" was another human being? and that human being could be male or female? They could be living anywhere in the world right now. The stars would have to align and that person would have to be in your direct pathway, either physically or electronically (which is how it goes nowadays). And they would have to be ready for a relationship, and would have to be also intune to the signs the Universe is giving and have their eyes open and take advantage of that moment with that person. In this case that person is me. I am keeping my eyes peeled, but so far, the other person is either hiding or hanging out in Japan somewhere. Either that, or the people I've met are not listening to the signs of the Universe and even though we've met, they didn't take the cues, and have missed out on knowing one of the greatest people on this planet. haha just kidding. I haven't met everyone on the planet, how am I to know who's the greatest?
What is most frustrating is seeing people around you constantly meeting "their one," and feeling like the kid picked last at dodgeball. Well actually, the kid not picked at all, because nobody saw him standing there. He maybe felt like he was a ghost. Can anybody see me?? And with these people who have found their better half it is SO easy for them to say- "you'll find the one," "if you stop looking you'll be surprised who shows up." "You gotta just be happy being single, love yourself, don't worry about meeting someone. they'll never make you happy." But wait! isn't the reason you are with someone in a marriage relationship or dating relationship, is because they make you happy, in the long run?? Of course not every minute of every day, that's insane and impossible. But if they truly never ever made you happy, you wouldn't be dating them in the first place, or living with them and you certainly wouldn't be married to them. Of course a partner makes you happy! If not, then yeah, be by youself! I have a ton of fun with myself and am happy doing everything I want, when I want and partaking in all the things I love and care about. But I definitely would be happier having someone to talk to on a saturday night in bed, or first thing in the morning when you still have morning breath. I know this to be true because I have been in relationships before, and I have been very happy, and I have thouroughly enjoyed those relationships...thus, why I was in them.
I'm not going to delve into how to find this person, this love or whatever. not tonight. and if I had that answer, I would be with someone on this beautiful saturday night, and not at home starting a blog. But this blog isn't for answers. It's for contemplations, musings, wonderments.
I'm aknowledging that I believe the greatest desire of human beings is to be loved. Maybe for some, a friend, a father, a mother, even a dog or cat is enough. For me, I need that physical love. that skin on skin contact with another human person. that hand to hold. that big and little spoon. That attention, connection and overall being heard-ness, that a friend just can't provide on a daily basis, or in my case not even on a weekly basis. I need face to face eye contact. Text just will not do. I'm not a child of the digital age. Our poor children...I hope they don't turn into robots who don't know how to talk to people in person, and can't love with body language, instead using their current means, which is letter abbreviations that stand for actual words.

Well, that's all for now. Not that I'm done talking. I just feel that this post is already too long and once people see that, they'll probably go "yeah, not gonna read all that." But this is Christie's Contemplations. So it is really for me, Christie. But if anybody else takes something from it, then by golly, that's awesome. Until next time...
(oh. and the profile pic is me contemplating as to why I put sponge rollers in my hair?? or I had just woken up. who's to really know for sure??)
