Commitment or Romance

There are people who believe love cannot even start without a commitment. Without the reassurance that no matter what YOU will not leave me, this company won’t fire me, this hospital will never turn me away… They want to know that whomever they are with, they can COUNT on, 100% no matter what. They will give their everything to a company that promises to be with them to the bitter end, and they will work for free if they know this company belongs to them as much as it belongs to its founders. They love the idea of pulling in the same direction, making the impossible possible – together – no matter if they like each other, no matter if they agree on anything but their mutual goal: To live and die together.

And granted, that sounds pretty romantic when you think about it. However, there are the romantics:

They believe that they have a higher goal than just survive. They are visionaries, evolutionaries, and revolutionaries. They want to improve things, they believe that individuality and personal freedom is something sacred. They treat life like it was a playground, a life for the free and creative, the soulful and the fearless. They believe that love can only truly exist in a state of absolute freedom, and that love means a feeling you feel for someone amazing, someone they’d travel the world to find, someone they know they’ve known forever, the people they belong to by their heart bond, by their soul. They believe love can only be real when it is completely detached; chosen only because you enjoy that person, their wit, their talent, their energy, and you’d rather die than to be without it. And once they find that person or those people, they’ll give their life for them, as they protect the sacred; their beloveds.
