I want a happy secure comfortable life with moments of wild, passionate changes of mood and fortune - in other words, I want IT ALL!
WOW, This is my Life.
I went thru the wild, turbulent life filled with joy, sorrow, passion, and adventure - intoxicating successes and stunning setback for first half of my life.
Now I enjoy a happy, secure, predictable life with beloved DH and friends without wide swings of fortune and mood and I love it.
I would not change a minute of my two lives.
Okay .... Bronco Cheated!!!
If I HAVE TO pick one or the other ... which is what the question specifies I should do ...
I'd select the second option ... and clearly that is what I am living ... happy, secure and predictable .... that is me!
What a laugh! We don't get to choose....this question maker just doesn't get it! But of course, I want a life filled with joys, sorrows...you don't get the peaks unless you have the valleys. That does not mean insecurity...the second choice only implies safety...and that is not predictable!
I'm with Bronco...I want it all...life is all about the ying and the yang...gotta have a few trials and tribulations to fully appreciate the joys and successes!
=)
Definitely the latter. I've done the other. It takes years off and OH so tired!
Today...I would choose the second option. If only we were able to choose....
I've lived the first option so far and I would like to have option 2 from here on out!
I guess this question depends upon your age. I've lived option one. I think that's what made me crazy. The highs are great. They awaken our passion and allow us to LIVE. However, the lows are painful and never are worth the highs.
I choose option two. I've found the love of my life and he provides safety, security, honest and consistant love (a steady diet of which makes this woman happy). He also provides all the passion this heart can take. Sometimes we're on a schedule, but not always. The predictable is an illusion; there's always a suprise. I can count on that.
CAN'T PICK. I want balance. Libra head.
I'm of thte second school!
Peaks and valleys..you can't have one without t'other.....they don't have to be the top of the Alps and the bottom of a mine shaft though.....I think I'm a tweener!!
