We always want what we can't have. If we're single we want someone to cuddle with. If we're cuddling, we want someone to make out with. If we're making out, we just want someone to bang. If we're banging someone, we want someone to love. If we're in love, we just don't understand why they don't love us the way we love them. If they love us too we think, "Damn, why don't they just chill the fuck out?" Then we start to think about being single... and so a million romantic comedies are born.
Relying on others to make us happy is certain failure. If we fall for the "you complete me" Jerry Maguire bullshit, we will fail. Every relationship you've ever been in has failed, everyone you've ever known has failed, whether they are still together or not. Why? Because we're looking FOR love, not looking to BE loved. Going into a relationship with guards and walls, reservations and expectations deems us failures from the start. We can't be happy (try to convince yourself all you want) until we are happy with ourselves.
So how do you feel when you're alone? Without a shoulder? How do you feel lying in bed between 10 minutes and forever before you fall asleep? You don't 'complete' shit, you arrogant bastards. If the focus is on me, me and me how could you possibly expect someone to be unselfish and give you what you think you 'deserve'? It is rare that two people are in the same position in life and can make things work, that's why most (if not all) of the time we do fail. We fail ourselves, we cheat others. We 'cheat' boys and girls and lovers with open hearts into thinking we can give them what they need. But we fail to give them what they all truly deserve.
