So I've always been a sucker for thinking "what if?" I guess it's just that I always want to try something new or something different, or maybe it's just the fact that I easily get bored and I am in constant search of something to keep me on my toes.
The other day I was thinking about people who stay in relationships even though they're not completely happy. Why? I don't know. I asked them and they couldn't give me a coherent response either. A few said things such as:
"because I owe it to her"
"I can't hurt her like that"
"I have no one else to go to"
"You just have to get through times like these"
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.
That's what I think about that. If you don't love her/him then end it. If you're not happy then end it. If you find yourself happier in someone else's arms then end it.
I feel as though we are cultivated in this society where we focus so much on school and our futures and money that we forget what life is really about or what it should be about.
It's about being HAPPY! Find a true love and hold on to it, if the sparks start to die well sometimes it's better to let go and start up another spark.
Think about it. What's better, enjoying sitting by a fireplace with real wood and sparks flying everywhere or sitting in front of one of those modern-day electronic projected fireplaces? Of course, the modern one with the projected fire and wood may have a prettier image and may be safer. You won't run the risk of burning down your house, burning yourself, or catching anything on fire but what's life if not a risk? You need the real kind of fire. You need the fire that causes your heart to beat faster when you get up close and it may even scare you if you get too close. The first time you have found yourself close to fire it may even scare you but that goes away and all you're left with afterwards is a warm feeling inside and a memory worthwhile. It's a lot like true love and finding happiness.
Nowadays many people get too comfortable with their routine and their lives and they get scared. They're scared of change and they're scared of leaving that comfortable warm feeling. Our society needs a little push, a reminder that sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone in order to achieve the greatest happiness out there.
"You are what I never knew I always wanted"
This is my favorite quote of all time. It's from the movie Fools Rush In. If you haven't seen it, I strongly suggest you do.
It describes what I think about life. Of course you may be "okay" or "just fine" with your life now but maybe if you gave it a little shot or took a little risk you may find what you've always wanted in your life and never knew before. It's a scary thought to grasp onto but it's the truth. Don't settle in your life for anything else than the best. I'm not saying life is just one big staircase and all you do is go up until you reach the highest point. Life is more like wake boarding. When you first start out it's hard to get up and stay up, after a few good falls you manage to find a perfect balance where you feel stable and you feel safe; you get bored with this routine and seeing the same view of the boat in front of you so you decide to take a risk and you do a little flip. If you're lucky you'll be a natural like Amber Wing and you'll land perfectly. If not, well then you just have to shake it off and decide if you want to stay in the comfort zone of just cruising behind a boat or if you want to try another flip and maybe this time it won't hurt as much.
Get out of your rut and give it a shot. You might just find in your arms what you never knew you always wanted.
