Sometimes I look back and think, “This is the person I fell for?” when they are so much different toward others from the way they were to me. It’s like we never really knew each other after all.

I’ve also developed this… skepticism(?)… toward those who want (or hope for) a picture-perfect ending when they’re reluctant to even set one foot forward to reach it. I’m just speaking in general, but it truly is pointless.

Sure, you’re saying how much you want a love like those in the movies and how much you wish to find THAT GUY (or GIRL) from the movies in your life. But honestly, why can’t people take the time to realize that they themselves are not yet the OTHER person (Guy or Girl) in the love stories/movies? And it’s NOT that it’s a BAD thing to be imperfect, but if you’re too stubborn to change your views then it won’t be any good.

If you’re not going to do better for your own good and make yourself better—if you can’t help yourself first—then you can’t help anybody else. When two people decide to come together, it’s TWO people looking for that very same thing. You are not the ONLY one who’s looking for love or passion or “happiness”, so don’t expect the other person to provide you with anything because, pretty much ten out of ten times, they don’t even know what it is themselves. In fact, I would be happy with someone who can admit that she (and we, both) don’t know what it is and accept that the journey together would be the most important thing.

So yes, no more waiting, no more moping around until whoever comes along to “fix you”. No one can fix you until your OWN mind BELIEVES and TELLS you that you can do better, so why don’t we BEGIN there? Let’s do what we love and protect what makes us happy. Moping isn’t even attractive (to most people?) anyway…
