financial investments

so here's our heavyweight fight tonight ladies and gentlemen. in the red corner we have "great loves" and in the blue corner we have "heart ripping". are you ready to rumble??????

so olga's taken my oh so creative, hopeful, and eternally optimistic post about great loves and well, in her true to form fashion style, she's completely smashed it into a million broken hearted pieces. but alas! i am not that easily defeated. we ain't anywhere near a TKO yet ladies and gentlemen.

now whilst the post below seems to indicate that taking one step forward into great love territory, actually means taking two steps backwards into heart ripping territory, there must be some territory in between. the grey area. the twilight zone. the "f*ck-i-am-so-damn-confused" zone. and whilst olga seems to believe that to find your great love only leads to your heart being ripped out, i like to see this whole scenario much like any financial investment that we make in life. some work out and unfortunately some don't.

so let's start at the very beginning. a very good place to start. with most financial investments they tend to grow, scarily shrink, and hopefully get to grow again. but then sometimes, some people, despite the best advice from experts in the field, and careful research, sometimes circumstances just occurs that causes your investment to fail, fold up and call it a day. but yet even with all the risks involved in making financial investments and decisions everyday of our lifes we don't stop. why? for the achivement of the jackpot? for the knowledge that there's something in the egg basket on that rainy day? whatever the reason is we stil make those investments.

so scarily similar, we do the same for relationships. we invest a little or a lot of ourselves in each of the relationships that we form with our significant other. sometimes that investment will pay off and we hit the jackpot - finding the "great love" and managing to hold on to it. and sometimes the investment comes back to bite us on the butt and it just doesn't work out. but we'll still be out there looking for that perfect investment. it just takes time to grow to its full potential.

a wise man once said that with risk comes reward

and if you don't take a risk, well then you're not going anywhere. you might stay a single, 62 year old angry person who writes with red text on a blog. hrmm.

so go invest in some lovin' (which is what i think helga is trying to get at)
