Reading sex & relationship blogs, one thing that often strikes me is how different posts capture the different stages of love and relationships.  For the beginning, or perhaps pre-beginning, Charming, But Single writes about Couple Season:

I won't have a date for Christmas parties. Or New Year's Eve. And I often wonder if the joke about men not looking for a relationship between now and Valentine's Day holds true.

In the middle, a thought-provoking and difficult post from Kyra at Home at Heart entitled Home:

I guess what started it is my niece. We have a long history--too long
to detail here. Just suffice it to say that she has a special place in
our hearts. And while her home is not a. . .bad one, it's not
the best place for her. I spent this summer in Michigan while J
attended another school, and Kendall and I became even closer than
before. And I want her to come live with us.

And Alissa at I Found a Fatal Flaw in the Logic of Love calls her post Full:

The other day I was thinking about how hard it is when relationships
end.  Not just in the sense that something has inevitably happened to
cause a close, intimate relationship with someone to end, but in the
way that it can change your entire world and everything you thought was
true of yourself.

There's comfort to be found, I think, in the reading of the journey and where each of us find ourselves.  And what we see what we look around.
