Being happy
You know i am starting to think that being happy is being slightly out of line with reality. Let us examine this logic. Happiness stems from a period of time where you forget the negatives of your life and the world, whereas sadness is simply realizing what is your life. Therefore, to be happy it is ok to live partly in a fantasy line of thinking. You know what i mean, the happily ever after, true love and all that deliciously sappy stuff. So, that being said i feel living my life as part fantasy is very healthy to my happiness. While some people see true love and stuff like that as being normal, they are definitely a partial fantasy as we all have our downside, sadness and flaws. Loving flaws is you're mind realizing that this flaw is what makes someone different and beautifully odd to you. Then a series of flaws come together to form the person that you are in love with.
Now, logically, do we ever think "geez i really hope i can find someone who will have flaws that make me fall in love with them"? No! We think, i hope i can find someone who makes me happy. For anyone to make anybody happy they need to love them for every part they have to give. You cannot love intimate Joey and hate sarcastic Joey or you wouldn't actually have a love for me as the person i am as a whole. So, being that happiness is derived from this crazy idea, is it really a realistic approach we take to finding someone we decide that we are in love with....or does it have a hint of fantasy? I say, fantasy will set us on the path to knowing how to be in love with someone, this my reality is to find a girl who helps me live a real fantasy and love her for her every aspect, not just the ones that are easy to love. Hopefully, the girl will want to live the happy reality with me, you know, with that dash of fantasy to make us smile all the more.
