Continuing the topic of understanding and appreciating. Not so long ago, I use have this idea that in order to be happy, I needed to find an equal. Someone that shared similar interest or was in the career field I am in. But mainly, share my intense love affair with the art. I believed in this entirely and didn’t want to see other wise. On top of that I also use to think, that if needed I could some how influence someone to be this ideal individual.
I was wrong in all aspects. Not only, did I not need someone as myself, but you can’t make someone into who they’re not.
Happiness comes in the ability to take things for what they are. Being able to have a fond appreciation for someone being himself or herself and not being who you want them to be. That was the hardest thing for me to understand.
Life has a funny way of bringing people back on track, especially those people who try to only do the right things.
As far as love, I am not jumping the gun and telling her I love her, just yet. Even if would increase my chances of being her first.
I just don't say that word for the sake of saying it, the idea of love means to much for me and I've only said it when I've truly meant it without any second thoughts.
