Maybe its not necessarily when you are in love, but rather when you are happy. Maybe making other people happy has always been your source of happiness. And maybe, now is the time to truly explore what actually makes you happy. If you are like me in any way, it took being alone for awhile to finally figure out how to be happy with myself. Then, when in a relationship, the way you relates changes. You still value them and do things for them, but you don't look for them to feed the happiness you want so badly because you have already figured out ways to find it by yourself. Just a thought...

I agree with you. I do know that I am a hopeless romantic. I am kind of shy and guarded but when I do fall in love, I give it my all. It takes a lot for me to end a relationship.... and I don't end it until I and hopefully we has tried everything before ending it.
Good to see you again!isobalFebruary 2 2009, 04:55:19 UTC
Thank you. I agree. For me it's being content and at peace. Happiness? Well I think that it is a bonus. It is a rare occurance, one that because it is so rare is not taken for granted and kind of like an unexpected gift.
I think it is a good thing but then again, like anything else.... if a person cannot feel whole or even unmotivated because they are not part of a couple..... that may be considered extreme. I love being part of a couple, but I also like my independence. Is that being selfish?
Thank you it is actually a collaboration between me and a friend. I make jewelry, collages, mixed media and some photography. My work keeps me so busy I wish I had more time for my art. I have been taking a lot of informal self portraits. I you are interested, email me at isobal516@yahoo.com and I will send you some.

Little joys can be found in the strangest places when need be.
You are human and amazing in your own way bouncing that amazingness off another being can make you feel like more but it's all there to begin with.
