Since that topic came up with some, I have to make something clear:
NO, I don't have a new boyfriend xD
NO, I'm not in love with the guy I mentioned in my last post either ^^
It might be hard to imagine for some, but a good friend can make me happy too. Even better than a lover.
I gave up on love, there's no such thing for me. I'm happy to help my friends finding their happiness. That's enough for me. Simple as that.
I've made my peace with it.
Yes, maybe it's hiding myself, protecting myself from getting hurt again. But since I'm extremely picky with my partners anyway, I better stay alone. I highly doubt to find what I really want. It's hard to find someone who stays at your side, through all times and nearly impossible to find someone who's willing to fight at your side through hell.
So... I stay alone. And that's fine. I'm fine with it. I got my cats, they love me. I'm valued by my friends. If that is all, what life has to give me, I'm still richer than many other people.
I don't want you to share my opinion. If you have the chance to be happy with a person you love, take it. Don't waste the happiness that waits right next to you.
There's an old story, my best friend told me. I tell you and maybe you see the deeper sense in it.
There was a prince, who had a shining star with him. The star loved him deeply, so it decided, to stay with the prince. But the prince wanted the moon. He liked the star, but the moon... The moon was so special to him, he wanted the moon for himself. So we went on journeys on and on, to find the moon, to win the moon for himself. Whenever he came back, the star was happy and greeted him with warm light and tried to shine brighter, to make the prince happy. But in the prince's heart was only room for the moon.
One day, the star couldn't bear it any longer. The prince was gone again to chase the moon and the star left. When the prince came back from his journey, there was no star greeting him, no shining warmth embracing him. In shock, he finally realized, that happiness was right next to him all the time. He called the star, begged it to come back. But no begging and no tears could help it. The star was gone and the prince spent the rest of his life watching the heaven, looking up to the star he mindlessly ignored.
Don't be like that prince. Don't chase the moon, when a loving star is already there. It can be faster gone than you think and all mourning won't get it back to you.
What I want to say is, don't abandon the happiness you already have for a maybe happiness that could maybe come. Don't be that stupid, only a coward would act like this. Smart people value what they have at their side.
