| Re: Can You Accept Short Term Relationship? (why?)
I saw a biographical movie about Ms. Potter. She was proposed to but her parents didn't approve of her engagement much to her dissatisfaction. Finally her parents said for her to keep the engagement secret for 5 months. She was to go on vacation to a fabulous lakeside house. Everyday she received love letters that made her heart pound.... 'til one day the letters from her boyfriend stopped coming. Her boyfriend's sister wrote that he was sick. She immediately went to him but it was too late to even attend his funeral. Yes her boyfriend got sick and died. It was hard for her to draw since she was an artist and writer by trade and she had so many memories of him helping her publish her books. She eventually met and married another but though the time she spent with her first boyfriend ended, it was well spent because he helped her launch her career. People come and go in life. They may not be your soul mate but sometimes they enter and exit your life to be a blessing of some kind... to be a sweet memory.. parting is such sweet sorrow.. but one finds strength to move on.. either in one's career or friendships or mission in life. One never knows. Ms. Potter donated 4,000 acres of land to be protected in England after her successful Peter Rabbit tales. Pretty good movie. |
