The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

Together, Always

Together, Always

Two kindred spirits unite

Together always

In life

And in the afterlife

This marriage

Even death

Could not do part

About ‘Together, Always’:

You may be wondering why I chose to write something romantic today instead of my usual pessimistic approach to poetry (and life). But I believe the real question is, am I an optimist now? Should you be concerned about me? And will I ever learn to use grammar correctly? No, always a little and no.

As you guys know, I don’t write much romantic stuff. I am not a romantic person in real life. Or in the fake life I built for myself in my daydreams. And a lot of what I write is inspired by things I have experienced or have watched/read/heard. Did I mention I don’t indulge in romantic content much? I am all over the place today. Anyway, the point is I don’t really believe in love or “true love.” And some of us are just meant to be alone which is fine. I prefer it much more, actually. But occasionally I’ll write something romantic because for some people true love is real and that’s pretty great (for them not me lol).

What are your thoughts on love and “true love” in particular? I know this is a very heavy question and even philosophers could not properly answer much about love. But you guys are smart, I’m sure you have some wise insights. Who needs philosophers when we have bloggers anyway. So let me know in the comments below or simply stop by and say hi!

    I’m pretty big on love. I’ve had a lot of it in my life, and my wife is my true love. To me it’s the best feeling. I can also see how it might not be for some, who prefer a life without an intimate partner. I think we should all just go with what works for us, as forcing ourselves into a life that isn’t a fit will not work in the long run.

    PS: I don’t write anything romantic either… have sometimes written poetry but haven’t done much of that in a long while.

    Yes, I am a little ambivalent about this topic. I believe in true love, but among my relatives and my friends, I haven’t observed things like true love. Instead, I have observed true matches and good cooperation in probably 10% of couples. I think 30% of couples can keep it working, but barely. And the rest of them are having dysfunctional relationships in various degrees, but don’t have the money or courage to separate. This is just my own observation and my own statistics.
    I just watched a video that says –this is a video on marriage trend in America– that in the past 30 years or so, the upper middle class marriage rate and the number of children for each couple have almost no change at all. Middle class people have changed somewhat, like 10%. What has really changed is the lower middle class people–women in this category have changed a lot. Women in this category have been so energized in counting on themselves to make life better that they have got more college degrees, married less, have less children, and basically just enjoying life like what life should be enjoyed by a sane person rather than torturing themselves out of shape to fit in a marriage that is not suitable for them.

      Yeah, I haven’t seen it among people I know so I am not really a believer in true love. I agree, I think women have more freedom now and no longer need to be stuck in marriages they don’t want to be in.

    My two cents worth-
    There is a minefield lustful infatuation (one-nighters that might be extended a bit), or love of the sexual attraction type in ones mindset, but true love requires it be the unconditional kind. If people have to work at it, or need to work through issues, it isn’t unconditional love but too many people are determined to make it work, retrain their lover, which really means conquer them until they find a replacement to move on later. (This is about power, not love).

    I posit, those who love from the depths of their souls, just know what they gift someone else by its very nature is unmatchable with anyone else. If they are gifted the same in return, unconditional love blooms, otherwise it will be obvious early its simply unequitable love in return, and a clear mismatch. Unless you’re as honest with yourself as you intend to with with whom you acknowledge a (true love for) you’ll fool yourself into believing they love you equally but juts need more time to realize it from the same perspective you have.
    Unconditional love is about what you are selflessly willing to freely gift to someone of yourself in spite of what it might cost later, when it should reap it own unmeasurable rewards.

      I agree, attraction and love are two very different things. I think that’s why relationships work better when we are friends with our partners and don’t just see them as partners.

    I’m sorry you don’t believe in true love. I’ve found it in my husband. We connect physically, emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually. I wish this for everyone.
    The problem, with society, and people not meeting their soul mates is that people tend to stick with those who are not right for them. They spend too much time making excuses for the other person. Then when things fall apart, they don’t believe in love and poo-poo others who have it, hate on Valentine’s Day, and make up stories that love doesn’t exist and everyone cheats. Not so.
    Yes, I met all the assholes, but the difference between myself and other women is that I had no problems letting them go and moving on. (Or even leaving nice guys that weren’t the guy for me).
    The only way people get love is if they believe in it and don’t make excuses for the wrong people. Be strong enough to leave bad relationships and be by yourself for as long as it takes. (Same with friends, don’t waste your time with people who are not as good of a friend as you are; keep them at arm’s length.)

      You’re right sometimes we stick to the wrong person. And of course some people do find the right person and they’re allowed to be in love and feel that way.

        I think it’s truly up to the individual. We all get what we desire in the long run. Some say you find love when you least expect it. I disagree. I believe if you want it, you find it.
        But if you’re a loner or someone who is not up for commitment, that’s great too. 😉

    I definitely believe in true love, but it’s not at all how people imagine lol. Matt and I will openly tell one another we tolerate one another, but if anyone tries to come between us, it ain’t happening lol. It’s not hearts and flowers and romantic stuff, ever, but if we hear a soppy song then we get upset because we feel that way about one another. There’s no expensive jewellery for me, but bars of chocolate get smuggled into the fridge for me to find, or get left on my desk. Our wedding was anything but a Disney fairytale but we’re still together 10 years later lol.

    Pooja, it’s wonderful to see you explore a different side of your writing and delve into the realm of romance, even if it may not align with your personal beliefs and experiences.
    I believe that true love is a journey not a destination. I don’t know how much this make sense but I believe so because true love is something that you nurture and grow over time. True love is not something that you find once and then it is set in stone. It is something that you have to work at continuum.

    I think one must be comfortable being alone before they can truly experience a healthy relationship, which is why so many fail. Many of us (like myself) marry early in life before we truly know who we are, and it is incredibly hard to grow into oneself with someone — because you both change, and not always in ways that are parallel.

    For a non-romantic, I think you have a lot of lovely romantic thoughts. For a pessimist, I think you have a lot of a hope. You’re a beautiful, multi-faceted person, Ms. Pooja. Labels just take away from the gorgeous complexity of your radiant shine. 💫💕💫

    Those are real things but not everyone has to be romantic.

    True love can be a platonic relationship with a friend or an animal.

      Oh yeah, and a lot of people are too scared of being alone so they pick filth of the earth and have too many problems like abuse or whatever so they don’t even know what love is. Just infatuation and lust.

      I love love but I don’t like how it’s typically written and I’m not romantic with my own self so it makes it really really hard to enjoy writing it on my own.

      But there’s plenty of communities that don’t give a frick about romance. A noticeable one I know is asexuals. They have a branch called aromantics (funny name lol) that don’t experience romance.

      I do, but I can get how someone wouldn’t. I’m not saying to choose the label, I’m just saying there’s a space for you if you wanted to chat with people and bond over experiences. 😂☺️

    Indeed, this poem is quite contrary to your own disposition (to the extent what we know). Still, it beautifully written. It is fascinating how you express your perspective on romance, acknowledging that it may not align with the traditional notions of love. It is wonderful that you can still appreciate and write about love, even when it doesn’t resonate with your personal experiences.
    Love is indeed a complex topic, and different people may interpret it differently. But sometimes, the insights of common people like us can also be relatable.

    I didn’t believe in it until I found my person, so don’t write off true love yet. You’ll know the difference the minute you experience it, but you may be right. Perhaps it isn’t for everyone. Love can stir up deep and dark human emotions which can be exhausting to handle
