Love is a difficult thing, and we have all had out heart broken before.

What we need to concentrate on is being a whole person. Not half a person looking for their other half.

focus your determination inward. Be the best f*cking person you can be. What can you do to achieve this? It's different to each person. For me, it's losing weight, getting a job I enjoy, making things, doing something for the community, sharing my love and being happy with the person I am. A whole person.

A girlfriend/boyfriend won't complete you. They will just temerarily fill a void in your life, and you will still not be a full person. Motivate yourselves. It's what I'm trying to do.

Apart from a partner - tell me people - what is the one main thing you want in life?

Hale Bopp, that's a damn smart sentiment. And I agree with you.


Cheers,

The main thing I want in life is to become enlightened.

I want to eliminate evil. The second goal is to completely understand and easily alter my mind in order to pursue good and virtuous goals without interference from greed and other hinderances.

Having a partner isn't terribly important for me, though I would certainly like to have children someday.

Be a better liar. And a more normal human being. But I repeat myself.

Money and stability. Everything comes from that.

Its not doing it so people accept you. It's doing it so you will feel like a whole person without the need for a partner.

Goals are what makes life worth living to begin with IMO, taking care of that first is pivotal no matter what it brings back in the relationship world.

Funny thing. I'm probably the only person in the world that's never had my heart broken.

I do it by immersing myself with some sort of project. Earlier tonight, I finished a massive project that I had been working on for almost 7 years. I posted about it in Random Discussion.

Also, the job search has occupied a lot of my time. I am still searching, despite having applied in 32 states and one U.S. Territory.
