I don't need somebody from the opposite sex to make me happy.
I don't need to jump out of a long relationship right into a new one in order to make myself feel better.
I actually don't have that ability to do that either, I think it's shallow and much too headstrong.
I don't need anybody but me. And I take comfort in that fact. I love my friends, my rook buddies, all of them, and we have a great time whenever we go out.
I've been a lot happier these past 2 weeks than I have been these past 2 months, and I have only had me, my work, and my Recruits. These are intrinsic things that make me happy. I don't need another person sleeping next to me to be happy. I can be happy alone. I don't need to always have somebody to call "my girlfriend" in order to feel complete.
In fact, at this point, it's a bit of a burden with all I have going on.
This weekend was great, I spent a nice relaxing time at home with a few rook buddies and my family. Went into Boston and did some crazy stuff there, including watch a Clown Car full of Hookers unload right in front of Pizzeria Uno, but mostly just enjoyed being able to relax, and had a good time here away from work.
But, it will be good to get back to work and the kids. I also have a lot of stuff to plan for this Sea Cadet FTX, many OPORDS to write.
So that's what I need to do.
But in the meantime...I'll enjoy what I have, and what happens to the best of my ability.
I'm so young now, there's so much opportunity for everything...it's just a bad idea to go jump from girl to girl to girl...sure, there are hook-ups, all in good fun as long as nobody gets hurt...but serious relationships can wait. I want to find a girl who's real, you know? A selfless person, who loves me as much as I love her and would never hurt me or cheat or withhold the truth.
That girl is worth whatever wait she requires.
It isn't even much of a wait actually, I'm just not looking for anyone right now. If she comes along, I'll snag the opportunity, definitely, but I'm not going to actively pursue her. I'm always up for having a great time and meeting new people thoug, but at the same time...
...I don't need to jump right in with somebody from the opposite sex to make me happy. :)
