Long lost friend

It was an interesting meet up and catch up session with an old friend. We spoke and realized the last time we met might be 8 yeArs ago!

Her partner and her have been together for 6 years now.. And I was quite surprised that they met each other at a party. According to her, she was single, her partner was single and they just fell in love. The timing was right. Setting was right.. And they didn't have major incompatibility issues.. That made me think a little about how I had always chosen my partners. For one, I went according to how my heart felt. For another, I used more of my mind. I seem to have an idea of who I want but I think often, what I want may not be the best for me, just like what she has shared. The ex-gf she loved the most was not the one she chose to be with. Then now, with someone she met and fell in love with immediately, they have been together the longest time ever, and she's still happy. The issue of relationship still baffles me.. Hopefully I will be wiser in time to come.
