It’s a cliché to say that we find things exactly when we least expect them, but that’s exactly what happened to me. For years I had wanted to find someone to be able to “settle down” with. But I was looking for someone within the context of the default path, a script of how life should be rather than what I really wanted. I now agree with Joseph Campbell, who through his study of the human experience through our ancestors’ stories, concluded that “We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.”
