"And Its Been Too Long And I'm Lost With Out You."

I always hear that you can't be truly happy unless you're in a loving relationship. Now that's something I don't believe at all not just because I'm currently not in a relationship but I think that if we as individuals depend on the affection of another person to make us happy, we lose a little bit of ourselves that is difficult to get back. I think tradition has a massive part to play in every movie, Tv show, book, talk show there is always some one or some sort of situation where if some one is not in a relationship they are immediately deemed unhappy or like something is missing from there lives for not being in a relationship.

I personally think that being in a loving relationship yes you can be very happy but there is nothing to say you can't be happy being a single person. I actually believe that relationships are a roller-coaster ride and you spend more time with your emotions up and down than you do when you are single. Having said that the extreme feelings you experience are some that can't be duplicated, the feeling when you look in to your partners eyes and you can both feel the love in that moment, its something really special. When you are apart and the heartache that you feel is like something you've never felt before no matter who you are.

I think love if or when you find it is an amazing thing especially if it lasts it can seem like nothing else in the world can be better than it, but I also think that just because you haven't found love doesn't mean you need to find it to be happy. If you are happy with yourself and you're life then you don't need anything else or any one to validate that by them saying "I love you".

Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings YOU the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run.
