Cute Couples Are Cute But I Do Not Envy Them

Cute couples are everyone. They are in the streets kissing and hugging together. They smile at each other and they are always holding hands.

I don’t envy them. I just look and smile at them. With joy and sincere happiness.

I don’t wish to be them nor am I pressured to fall in love.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m sure falling in love is a wonderful feeling, maybe one of the best feelings in the world but if it’s not with the right person, then it’s okay. If it doesn’t happen as well, then it will be fine. I will survive and I will be happy too. Once I took off the pressure of having the expectation of falling in love and being in the most romantic relationship I yearn for, I set myself free. I feel so much more alive, lifted and happy. If this man I am turns out to be my lifelong partner, then I will be shocked and if he doesn’t happen to be that one, then I will survive and thrive too.

I deserve the love I think I deserve. I am not going to settle for anyone who would make me doubt their love for me and vice versa.

Every relationship has hardships and every couple has its challenges. Love doesn’t triumph everything and happiness certainly doesn’t overcome everything but compatibility and compromise does. If I have to spend an eternity with you, then 5 seconds of happiness just won’t cut it. Behind a smile, there is always sadness but it is more of the sadness grown together than apart.

Love yourself because at the end of the day, that is truly what matters in a lifetime.
