Until the Right Guy Comes Along
Generally speaking I agree with my Adverb. We don't need romantic love to be happy, because "happiness" is a way of being. Abruptly speaking, it is the way we naturally accept things. There are people that always smile no matter how many problems they have and there are people that are more melancholic, even when life is not very problematic. It's probably a genetic propensity.
But, no matter what propensity we have, we need love. Mainly, we need to love. I also believe that we all want to be loved. And, to finish this issue, I believe that romantic love heals. At the same time, it depends on each person. For me, romantic love cured. I was sad before my Adverb.
But the same way that Adverb gave me what I needed; for other people other things have the power to make them happy. There are people that find happiness in defending nature, others that find happiness in children; and, others that find happiness helping people around the world.
What matters is if your happiness makes others happy. What matters is if you have the ability to love in a universal way, so that you can find strength to move on even when you think that you are completely alone. Because anyway everything depends on you, and everything starts with you.
And, if you know that your happiness depends on romantic love but you don't find the right person? Well, happens all the time. Happened to me all the time before Adverb. Was never the completely right guy... But the fact is, most of the people don't find their ideal. Sometimes because they just don't, sometimes because their ideal is way too high and there is no perfect human being.
So, what do we do? Well, remembering me and was not long ago, live day by day remembering that everything starts with you. Keep working, keep studying, keep enjoying what and when you can enjoy, and feel free to cry and be depressed because anyway we always cry and feel depressed, it's part of the deal.
And until you find the right person, enjoy with the wrong one (just kidding).
But if you find the right guy don't demand flowers and poems every day or soon you will be playing around again with the wrong one (kidding again).
See you tomorrow ladies... try to eat, because no food, no happiness (kidding again, well, more or less).
