As I was walking out on the lot today I noticed something. And not just anything, I noticed a dead bird laying in the parking lot. I took the time to kneel down and actually see the corpse of the bird and I felt a sadness fall over me.

There’s a beauty to this life that we live. There’s this incredible gift of life that we are given and sometimes I feel like that bird that I saw. Just flying around, high and mighty loving every bit of everything and then all of a sudden something will come out of no where and try to pull us down and rip out our wings and crush our hopes of flight.

As I meet new people everyday I find myself being more in tune with how they are responding to and interacting with their significant other and it’s fascinating how many people are in relationships where there is absolutely no communication with the other.

That person that we let into our life to build us up, they are the ones that are pulling us down. They are the ones that we let into our homes, into our lives and they are the biggest and darkest black plague that you have willingly let into our life. Now I’m not saying that everyone is like this, I’m just having an extremely hard time understanding how such long relationships can withstand all of the lies and all of the information that is with held from the other.

It’s almost like being married is just a piece of paper that’s almost too tough to rip up. It’s something that you have committed to and now you are bound for life. Even if situations have changed, goals and dreams are on opposite sides of the universe. You have entered in to a contract with another person and you are now bound to that person for the rest of your life, no matter what.

There should be a sense of friendship and partnership. The two who have united should be a team. A team that would want to conquer all… Not just each other. No competition for leadership, work as a unit, almost like a 3 legged race. Just getting to the finish and doing it with all you have and working together every step of the way.

You don’t fall into a partnership because you have been together for 5+ years or because you want your first kiss to be your last. You bind yourself to another person because it just works. You work well together, you communicate and you know in your heart that there isn’t a better partner for you in this race that we call life.

This bird, this poor bird is all I can think of… where was his partner, what will his partner do now that she is alone in this race?
