Needing someone in your life... - 04/23/05 02:53 PM
[color:"purple"]I'm feeling purply today...I have not worn my pants in some time (Idiots know what I'm talking about)...so excuse me if this color is obnoxious...Anyhoo....
There is something I have been discussing with another poster here lately..and it's along the lines of the things in your life that make you happy...
Why is it not o'kay to feel like you need to have someone in your life to make you complete...to make you happy? It is the one thing that is stressed....MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY..make it so that you're happy alone...and *then* share that with someone else...
Well...why the heck isn't it o'kay for it to be another person in your life that makes you happy?
Finishing an education..that's okay to make you happy...
Finding a fulfilling hobby...that's o'kay to make you happy...
Getting that dream job...that's o'kay to make you happy...
Being content with your own behavoirs...that's okay to make you happy...
Finding someone to share your life with..that is not o'kay to make you happy...it's only o'kay to *share* your happiness with that person...
So why is that?
I am *content* being alone. I enjoy my privacy and enjoy my "alone" time. I'm accomplishing something with my education, making new friends, changing behavoir, finding things that make my life enjoyable rather than just livable. But ya know what? "Content" is not happy. "Peaceful" is not happy. I want someone in my life. I want someone to love and someone to love me. That is my fulfillment..that is what makes me feel complete. So what is so terrible about that?
