Why are we afraid of long-term commitments!

I have always been in love with love and romance, it has played like a movie in my mind since I was pretty young.

Sometimes I wonder how can a child have this kind of big thinking when it comes to romantic feelings and a deep desire to connect with another?!

Then I grew up and I grew disappointed, unfortunately, nowadays it is hard to find someone who wants the same, however, I have never lost hope, nothing is impossible.

Have you ever met someone who is so close to you, so dear and important to you, that you think this is exactly what I have been looking for and you hear fireworks all around, filled with joy, and optimism, yet scared to the bone?

Funny, I met someone who is a great lover and has the potential to become the best partner and the most wonderful father of my children, but who is afraid of commitments, who has struggled with daddy and mommy issues since the get-go.

Ironically, the more I try to understand the other one, the more I realize I have been suffering from the same syndrome, fear of the long term, I am also a strong lover of freedom, and who would know that freedom and commitment do not go along together.

Certainly, they can blend well with the right mindset and ingredients, when both partners are evolved and have a deeper comprehension of those two, although it will still require much effort to give up one or the other.

If we are married with our own freedom and independence, we will lack the compassion, patience, and tolerance that commitments are made off.

Do we have to choose? Do we choose ourselves, do we choose the other, do we choose togetherness?
What is it that our heart most longs for?

Are we constantly trying to learn and prove to life and or ourselves what is the most significant thing, or are we wise enough to know that love will elevate us?

The only love that lasts longer will definitely give us all the tools for the best lifestyle, for the greatest experience on earth, because when we rise in love indefinitely we are also very good at giving, participating, and elevating not only ourselves but for everyone around us.

You have got to read unto your beliefs and values, so you can learn what is more important to you.

Is it fear of losing your freedom, thus, living in a world when you achieve everything and do what you want, always lacking something very essential, or is it a higher reason to give up a little of YOU in order for WE to rule the world, brightening every corner of your soul?!
