Didn't understand your quote there.
Unfortunately, selfishness never leaves. It's a nagger.
Children can come at any time. Marriage can come at any time.
But love comes when selfishness diminishes.
Makes sense, I meant selfishness losing its prominence. Tell me, from what you've experienced, is love like loving each other because you and the one you love are the best at it (loving each other)? Or is it kinda like you don't have anyone else?

Hopefully it is neither. My wife and I love each other because we choose to. There are days when we could box the others' ears.
But you know what it is? She knows me more than anyone. Even my parents. She knows my secrets. She knows my fears. She knows my pride. She knows my weaknesses.
And sometimes she has the courage to call me out on those. And sometimes I listen. And sometimes I don't.
Love is never a feeling. Love is refusing to allow the other person to fail. Love is dedication to the strength you know exists in a person even when only the weaknesses are visible to everyone else. Love, as Echolyn says, carries you home.

This makes me sad because there is someone very similar to that in my life, but she lives in Seattle. Not that I would begin a relationship, but the fact that is it impossible is upsetting.

Don't despair!
I met my wife when I was 16. On the Internet. I drove 8 hours to see her twice a year at most. We will celebrate 10 years come July.

I was carrying the baby around the house 4 am trying to make him sleep, it was nice to sit down for a second to read this stuff.
I'm 26 now and even though I've always known that some day I want to have children of my own, only in the last two years or so I've felt sort of ready for it. But I don't think you can necessarily be entirely ready to have your first child, but you can be as prepared as you can. One month in a lot has been learned and a lot is to be learned, and I can't wait to get to know this guy as he grows.
If one cliche is true, it's that there's nothing as beautiful in the world as the smile of your own child. Oh man.
