Rainy days and mondays always get me down.

Ok, so it isn't Monday, but for all I can remember, it might have been when I started this. Hopefully the fourth time is also a charm, because I've tried to update my journal three other times before this, but after my first entry. Since the first entry is the only one around, you know how successful I was. The first time my friend/roommate said

Someone, anyone, PLEASE, tell me if you know of a couple who is a true love story. Where they tried and had troubles, but it all worked out anyway. Or they never had problems. Does mutual love really happen,

That's a really loaded question. "True love stories" are usually just that, stories. There are lots of different kinds and levels of love, different people have different levels that they're happy with. What I consider to be satisfying and real love someone else might consider to be not enough, and vice versa.

I think if you know what you want, and you're strong and whole and independent, you've got a much better chance of finding what you want. Never look for love to fix something in your life or make it whole, that's a big burden to lay on another person. Be happy and healthy and look for someone who adds to that happiness with their own good attitude and stable state of mind.

I would also suggest, if you don't mind, that you shouldn't pin your hopes on something that might or might not happen with your best friend. It puts too much pressure on both of you and it keeps you from exploring other options that might turn out to be better. You can still love him without being romantically involved or a couple, it's just a different kind of love.

Well....

I actually don't want anything to happen with my friend, more than friendship, that is. The original post just caught me at a particularly blue time, and I was wondering if people ever had long lasting and fulfilling relationships like the ones I used to hear about. (Example: "Couple X celebrates 50th wedding anniversary." and they're both still smiling and holding hands.
