LoVe
Love is a funny thing. I just watched an episode of Charmed where Leo gets taken away from Piper and it just made me wonder about finding that one person who you want to spend the rest of your life with. the one person who you could make sacrifices for. Like... Nathan and Haley. or Logan and Veronica :D
And I was thinking... what if I never find that person? If I were religious, I could put my faith in god and just be like god will take care of me. But i'm really not religious, and I feel kinda bad just using god for my own selfish reasons. But then I realized -- even if we don't find that one PERSON we're supposed to love for the rest of our lives, that kind of love can kind of be replaced. There's a lot of people who are so happy with their job that their job has become their true love. And I suppose, if I become a famous actress, or the queen of the fashion world, I would be intensely happy and really wouldn't have much time for a love life. And if that's not satisfying enough, what's more satisfying than adopting children. Children are easy to love. You have to love them. They would be a really good significant-other replacement.
So at first I was kinda worried my life might be incomplete if I don't find that one perfect person that's out there. And I do think, on some level, there's that one other person out there, and someday, somehow, we're gonna find them. Of course, I also believe that there are plenty of stepping stones along the way to that person. But the grand design is kind and somehow everything will work out. But along the way to finding this person, life might get a little dreary. And that's where doing something you love comes in. And then I realized, my entire education has been devoted to getting somewhere in life - somewhere where I would be happy. And it just puts things in perspective, you know? My super boring World Cultures recitation is a big drag, but I need it to graduate. And I need that diploma to get a job that I love.
Even when life kinda sucks, you just have to step back and realize that actually, life's not so bad after all.
I just realized that it's February and maybe that's what's making me think of all this soulmate stuff. I really just need something to look forward to.
