Searching
I don't know what it's like in other countries, but in America, half of our life is spent asking the question, What am I going to do with my life. How can I be in a career that makes me happy. What is the true meaning of it all. Will I ever feel satisfied.
I think that I may have actually figured it out. I know, how very presumptuous of me. I know what I want though, and at first, it sounds kind of lame. It sounds weak and a little out-dated.
For years I have been asking the question, What should i go back to school for. What should I be when I grow up. I've decided that I should be happy. I should meet someone that I love and care about nothing except for being happy and spending time with that person. Who cares if you go to work every day and get a raise if you come home at the end of the day and have no one to share that with? Who cares if you got a raise and you have no one at home who will throw their arms around you and tell you how amazing you are and then take you out to dinner and champagne?
I've realized that for me, personally, the only thing I really want is someone to share my life with. Someone that can make me laugh after the worst day ever. Someone that wants to hear my voice before anyone else's in the morning, and wants me to tell them goodnight every night before bed.
Maybe we wouldn't care so much about how fulfilling our jobs were if that wasn't where we were seeking our fulfillment and happiness from.
I've always known how to work towards professional and educational goals. I'm not exactly sure on how to work on a goal that is somewhat outside of myself. I need to make myself ready. Become the best person that I can possibly be so that I can be the best person for someone else.
How do you prepare yourself for love?
