Life is waiting for you...


What is it that makes human beings look for some significant other to live their life with? Is it just a remaining part of the whole instinct of reproduction or just because there's something about humans that makes them unable to live on their own? Have to admit you can rarely afford to live all alone and yet have all the comfort you'd like and be totally happy. Nowadays, life is designed to be lived as a pair. Who decides about that? And what makes us go with the flow and look for that one to walk with on the path, either for a short time or forever?

Is there really somebody for everyone, after all? Or are some people meant to find the one and some other just supposed to keep looking until they lose hope or narrow their criteria so much about anyone could fit in? I don't know what to think about it all. I'm not really looking for anyone but at the same time the idea of sharing special events of this short life looks attractive.

I never really had many friends, at least not before I reached age 18, which isn't that long ago, so I'm still learning how to open up and interact, with clumsiness all over. And when it comes down the special friends, it's always been about falling for the one that'll show some interest at first and then turn to some other one they've been seeing at the same time. Making me feel miserable, worthless or simply boring. I guess you learn from the mistakes, wrong choices and so; but can you actually teach your heart not to fall so fast that there's no turning back other than breaking it up into little pieces?


"Yes, life is a journey. One that is much better travelled with a companion by our side. But that companion can be just about anyone...
...A neighbour on the other side of the street...
...Or the man on the other side of the bed...
...The companion can be a mother with good intentions...
...Or a child who is up to no good...
...Still despite our best intentions, some of us will lose our companions along the way and our journey will become unbearable...
...You see, human beings are designed for many things. But loneliness is not one of them."
