Relationships
On relationships:
I love being single. For it is by being single that I know that I am truly happy.
When I lay my head and close my eyes tonight, I will feel genuinely content with my life. And there is a comfort in the fact that I feel that content without anyone else in my bed. I know I am happy, and I know that I am alone. I am happy with myself as a person, as a man, and I am happy with my life. I am me, I am not a reflection of someone else. I am happy being me, not because I am the lover of this person or the boyfriend of that person. Are relationships negative? Of course not. But now I know that I will enter each one with the knowledge that I am only doing so out of genuine interest, not out of need to define or legitimate myself. I totally and legitimately feel comfortable and content with myself. And it is in that that I find the strength, the freedom, and the courage to live the next day in a way that will assure that I can continue to respect myself when I look in the mirror.
