Found Love Yet?

Love it truly an amazing thing, whether it is the love you get from yourself, friends and family, or a significant other, you absolutely need love in your life in order to be happy

What being said, many people make their whole lives about chasing love, whether that is from a girlfriend, a relative, a friendship, or a constant struggle to love yourself, it seems that love seems to be consistently on the mind of many people

While it is very important to seek out love in your life, it is important to not fall into the trap of making your whole existence about the search for it

I remember meeting a girl a few years back who had a reason for going to college that totally baffled me

I asked her what she was going to college for/what she was studying and she said that she was going to college to, “find a husband”

Let me repeat that verbatim, “I am going to college to find a husband”

I was floored. I asked her if she had any other interests or reasons for going to college like trying to find something your passionate about, securing a job, anything

She honestly was there for the main reason of finding a husband because the guys at college are the types of guys she wants to marry

Now I am not judging her because I certainly have heard way worse answers as to why one is in college, but its statements like these that have me wondering how many people in the world feel incomplete until they find the “love of their life”

One of the fundamental ideas behind a relationship is the idea of two people coming together creating something bigger than themselves, the problem is that many people view themselves and their potential partners as puzzle pieces. They are in the constant game of trying to find their missing piece so they can be complete and lead a happy life

Let me tell you right now, if you think that a relationship will make you a more complete human being, you are accomplishing the equivalent of putting a band aid over a bullet wound

This is the male equivalent of running around juggling 7 women at a time because you are constantly trying to fill a emotional void inside you (trust me, its overrated)

Two people should come together in order to support it each and who they are, not fill the voids that exist in their persona

There are so many things you should be doing in life in addition to finding love

Build a dream career, travel the world, read to many books, become a culinary artisan

Aim to enjoy every aspect of your life and decide that you want to find a person to share your amazing adventure with

Because what’s better than one amazing life adventure? Two

Love
