One of my friends and I were talking about being happy. We are both single gals and we both have a bunch of girlfriends who only date someone, so they can be happy. I always thought that too. I thought to be happy you need to have lots of friends and a boyfriend. WTF? You need someone to be happy?
Living my life for 33 years now, it took me more then 25 to find out who I am(still finding) and what I want but most important: I am the ONLY person who can make myself happy. Sure, we can SHARE the great moments of happiness with someone else. But if you are unhappy with who you are (mentally or physically), you will be unhappy for a long time.
When I was younger I felt I was like the "ugly goose" from the tale stories. I hated my body and I always wanted to please everyone so I would be liked and have many friends. Well to my surprise, it wasn't like I planned. "Friends" took advantage of me and I had no true friends. What a great thing is the work "experience". After years of living and learning I found out so much about me that you may even thing I might be a bit selfish but I'm not.

LOVE ME or LEAVE ME: I read that in a poster related to our planet Earth and I thought it was funny because even if we don't like our planet, it's not like we can flight to Mars or Venus. But we can applied that to ourselves. I don't mean it's my way for the highway, I mean if you don't like my sarcastic sense of humor or my giving humanitarian personality, I am not going to change for you.
I learned later in life that if you have a great relationship with yourself, you might be more successful to be in a relationship with another human being. Why? Because you learn about yourself and you know they key to any kind of "ship" is communication.
My point: If you learn to love and respect yourself, you are communicating and even if you are alone you can be as happy as a bird. Spread the wings of happiness around yourself.
