why it might be a good idea to keep Eric around… maybe for forever

The other day, I was having one of those days where i was rambling about nonesense and being my irrational self like i always do when i start to ramble. And of course, Eric (who claims to be the rational one) calms me down.

I had rambled on about uncertainty and how can people be so certain in marriages and then divorce in the next year. it makes me lose faith in marriages because to me, it should never end. It makes me nervous and scared that if i get married, i may feel “certain” about the right one but then down the road, i find out that i was wrong. I know… irrational ramblings about nonesense. And then eric replies with such simple words “Faith”, he tells me. and he quotes “better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all” :)

reminding me why i keep him around, why i probably need him in my life. Cause he lets me ramble on, sometimes for even an hour. He doesn’t always listen to them, but he listens during the important ones. And then he calms me down. He’s a pro at handling my signature ramblings.
