I do not really like the part of romance that suggest that one cannot be happy without a partner. This may come as a surprise to you, but you are not half of a person. Do you even know where this idea came from?

"According to Greek Mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves." (Plato's The Symposium)

Now, do I believe that you can find someone and they can pull the positives within you to your surface? Do I believe that someone can show you the abilities that you were blind to? Yes, I do. I believe fully that someone can do those things. However, I also believe that someone who does that isn't always your "soulmate."

We don't really have soulmates. We are meant to meet the people we meet and learn from our interactions with them, whether the lessons are good or bad ones. At the end of the day, however, you will still be you. You can make yourself happy. You can please yourself. You can find happiness by yourself. And maybe you should attempt to do those things, before you attempt to do them with someone else. 

catch you later,
