Lucky in Love ?

I have been searching for a way to make my blog into a book , and just make it a keep-sake for my reading pleasure. I finally stumbled upon the site I want, and boy! was I ecstatic. I immediately took up a pet-project of creating a book on memories. (After all the hullaboo, the blog is going to be the second project.) Anyway so this is the site: http://www.blurb.com/
And here is the introduction I wrote on my first project: :) No judgments please.

There is always the dream...the dream of someone ....made just for you. And however harsh reality becomes, or you realize that after all Daniel Craig, Paul Newman, Russell Crowe were not made for you, and that a Mr.Darcy doesn't really exist, you still try to hold on , in your darkest, loneliest times, to the hope that someone is out there, waiting just like you are .....
So what if you never meet that someone, there are what, trillions of people in the world, and if you are in Kolkata and he is in Timbuctoo, leave alone a chance meeting, even a catastrophe like in the movie Day After Tomorrow might not make you both bump into each other. So does it just boil down to chance ? Nope. What it ultimately boils down to , as somebody once explained to me : )
"what is really amazing is the quality to adapt/ajdust between two persons....it's rare to find 'made for each other' couples....no one's perfect."

I don't want to do a postmortem of love. I don't want to say, oh you SHOULD HAVE all these COMMON INTERESTS...else you are doomed, or don't you know OPPOSITES ATTRACT. (Notice my caps lock is for the opposite views existing in the real world :and are opposites in themselves.....what an oxy-moron .... hmm.... there you have it - the definition of love :)).
There will be times when you will feel like storming out of the
room , banging the door on someone's face , never ever seeing him or her again, crying yourself to sleep over what you think your better half does not understand....
and yet ...none of this will be strong enough to break apart what you share. It is what triumphs that is love... it is what makes you want to be together, it is what you want to grow old together that is love.
And I realize that having solemnly stated that I will not define love , that is exactly what I have done.
So I will end here without further ado, and wish you all the best in writing your love story. This is a glimpse into mine and I hope you cherish it as much as I do.

touche! after reading your post the lines of a song come to mind. It's not always rainbows and butterflies, but compromise that moves us along. hope we're all as lucky as you are :)
