There are two 'truths' in Life…

There's Reality itself, and the truth that we will never actually know it. The closest we will ever come to "Truth" is "Truth Being Observed." The very act of us observing Truth changes it.

We only see part
As long as we observe the world from a singular point of view, we will only see a fraction of the big picture. Even if we're looking at the same thing, it's still from two different angles. The rest remains "unknown."

Truth is many things at once
For example, according to physics, light is both a particle and a wave. But that's only when you're not looking. You can only look at it as one or the other. "Truth" therefore is more than you can see in a single moment.

We interpret Truth
We have beliefs about Reality and every experience has to either "fit" or be discarded. We see Life as we believe it to be.

We add to Truth
We also project our own Beliefs onto what we observe. We "fill in" the gaps that we don't see with things that we just simply assume to be True. A scientist seeing an unusual event will calculate the cause far differently than a person who is devotedly religious.

Truth may or may not actually exist independent of us
Then again, Truth may not actually exist outside of our own experience of it. I can speak of my experiences, and compare them to yours, but that's still just observations, isn't it?

Will we ever really know?

I have been with my fiance for almost three years. We are both in college and have been engaged for a year. We are waiting to get married until we graduate in a year and a half. He stayed at school for the summer and I came to live at home. We are six hours apart and do not see each other often. We first started dating after my ex cheated on me. I was really hurt by that and Jonathan (my fiance) helped put my heart back together. Ever since I came home, my feelings have changed. I love Jonathan, but I'm having mixed emotions about everything. I can't get my ex out of my head. It's been a while since I've seen or heard from him, but he's all I think about. I love my fiance, and I don't understand why I'm having these feelings. I feel like I'm still in love with my ex. How can I be in love with two people?

Please help! I'm in emotion overload!
