love over power

so i just watch the young victoria it was more then i expected it to be. i knew tales of queen of victoria and i'm sure this movie romanticized it to some degree but it got me to thinking....can love and power work together when its the woman who holds it?
during the course of the movie i found myself in the shoes of queen victoria not knowing who to trust even when the most trustworthy person was right next to her. power has a way of blinging you while love confuses you. there was one pertinent line though where a character said trust your instinct it will lead you - i thought it poignant that he did not say your mind or your heart but your instinct.
sometimes in love i think we quiet our instincts to the point where we no longer recognize them and then we wonder how we were ever lead a stray. we take everyone's opinion and advice but then get upset at ourselves when we make mistakes without realizing that we have made mistakes based of the decisions of others. can power and love reign togther queen victoria and king albert did it for 20 years and in a day and age where 5 year marriages are a milestone i dare to say they got something right.
so i will listen to my heart, head my minds warnings but will follow my instincts and in the end if there is a mistake it will be mine to make and mine alone.
