Cre8tive Mojo talks Indian Match Making Netflix

OMG...I just had to write about this! I am almost done with the first season, and it is def interesting. Just watching the matchmaker Sima dealing with her clients was hilarious. Seeing all the guidelines that her clients wanted was even more hilarious. This hurt watching. If you are even a little bit of a hopeless romantic, this show just sucked out all of the fun in wanted to find the one and get married.

I felt especially bad that most of Sima's clients either never been in a relationship or never experienced love. n the back of their heads, it is like why be picky, you are only marrying to make babies anyways? That is all. In the most practical sense---it's all biological, with little emotions. All that seemed to matter is attraction and readiness to marry. If those both were present, then the rest would figure itself out, according to arranged marriage.

But the rest doesn't just figure itself out. If you have been in relationships before, YOU KNOW. In the beginning things are great, but the truth begins to come out. Areas where you need to work on together to make the relationship better starts to show. If you lack the experience of listening, or understanding your partner, if changes aren't made, if the same thing keeps on happening over and over--if you aren't equipped on handling relationships because you haven't ever been in one---then, it is a HUGE learning lesson. the only way to learn is through mistakes, and heartbreak.

It is messy. It hurts. It ultimately changes you, but love is love. And, if you haven't felt it, you will and it might break you in pieces, but it is worth it. I had my heart broken many times, but each taught me something about myself that I wouldn't have otherwise known. My first heartbreak taught me that I could actually fall in love, I wasn't immune to it. I thought no one could get me, and I was invincable. Lol that was so wrong. Not only did I fall in love, but then got my heartbroken.

Another heartbreak taught me, that you can't control who you fall for. It could be the craziest person, but somehow they get you in a way no one else does---and it's hard to explain to people. This was the hardest heartbreak. It taught me how powerful love is.

One heartbreak taught me you can love someone who is not from your culture at all, but they can teach you about love more than anyone from your culture has. And, even if they teach you everything about love, that still doesn't mean you will get it & love.

And the most recent one taught me that even if you find someone that clicks most of your boxes in who you would like to marry, if it's not meant to be---it just wont happen..and there is nothing you can do. That was a hard one, too. It taught me patience.

It is a journey, not a destination.

love,
