Inevitable Failure.
On our tenacious quests to (hopefully) find a person to grow old with, we meet, date, and (even) fall in love with soulmates that will never be. And along this path of self-reflection, chaos, determination, and heartbreak, we attempt to mold disjointed puzzle pieces into a (near-perfect) picture of what life could (and, in that particular moment, should) be, sometimes in the face of defiance by loved ones, acquaintances, and even ourselves. Until it's time to move onto the next person, place or thing, the noun that makes more sense for who we are (always) becoming on our non-linear paths towards clarity that will never truly be. Enjoy!

This article should be required reading for all couples. But they won't read it. Love trumps-triumphs? (I'm sure I would not have heeded the author's warning signs either.) So, big compromises lie ahead-after the fact. Lots of unhappiness if things don't work out. Ultimately, divorce. Wait, YOU said that: "we attempt to mold disjointed puzzle pieces into a...life..." Well said. But can one do that?
