To all the single folk out there, who have so much love to give, and haven't yet found that person willing to receive it, I say keep trying, but in the meantime find something else to enrich your life, until the day comes you meet that person.

And to every couple out there who felt it was necessary to broadcast how lucky they are, to flaunt their happiness on top of all the other good fortune they've received, and inform me on their Facebook statusii whether I want to know or not, "f**k you very much." :)

Nine more hours...

Except... it does matter to me. It does matter that all these other people are allowed to be happy and I'm not...

Your comment breaks my heart. The truth is that everyone wants love but even when they find it they don't always know what to do with it. You are young and love is out there for you. People always say it comes around when you are least expecting it and that has been proven to be the case in my experiences with love but I am right there with you today (single) and wondering why it is that everyone else seems to have figured it out except me... but then I remember that not everyone has figured it out yet and then I don't feel so alone.

Thanks for the vote of confidence... Sometimes I wonder as well...

You are allowed to be happy. The thing is that it seems like you want to rely on someone else to make you happy all of the time, and that will fail sooner or later. I'm not attacking you, I'm just saying that love might come along when you learn to be happy alone. It took me roughly 18 years to learn that I can't rely on anything else to make me happy.

There's nothing extravagant about my life, and I've been through a lot of crap and rejection as well. When I was working on myself, learning to grow to become a better person; least expecting of a relationship or love, it came a long. I'm happy, but I don't NEED him to make me happy. I am complete on my own. I hope that this can give you some insight, I hope you realize that you do deserve happiness. It's up to you to make it happen,
