I find myself often thinking about the basis of the American declaration of independence. That of course being life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. First off, at what point does love start to take shape? How does one become vulnerable but keep their heart guarded at the same time? This I don't know. A little frustration of mine is one-sided relationships. I am guilty of this, I know, but I hate having an interest in someone who, whether intentionally or not, is just simply not responding. You know? Been there? It sucks. I mean, you just want to be honest with this person, that means a lot to you... and it's not that you wouldn't, or even that you aren't trying! It's that the opportunity isn't presenting itself... plus, let's be honest: the last thing you want to do is be pushy or play easy to get. Frustrating. Anyways...
I think that there are important things in this pursuit of happiness that go beyond what you can find in any other person. I think that a lot of time we don't spend enough time on self reflection and self investment to the point that we forget we are ourselves before we are something to someone else [friend, brother, father, etc...]. Obviously, it is pretty important to do these things. To be recluse and figure ourselves out before we try to pry in or out of other people's lives.
This is one thing that makes me happy:
