people need to stop relying on external factors for internal happiness. don’t expect another person to complete you, don’t feel the need to cling on to others in order to feel whole, most importantly think for yourself. life is a personal journey. you need to be secure with yourself as a person before investing yourself into another. not trying to be preachy this is something i need to remind myself as well i just notice these things a lot in people my age. it’s nice to be around others and all but when it comes down to it it’s always numero uno. i spend every new years alone because it’s just like every other day but for some reason this year i started feeling lonely because i wasn’t out with others and i don’t want to feel this way. i’m trying not to let everyones moping about valentines day bum me out either because i know being with another person isn’t really going to make me feel any better. not to mention the idea of valentines is just completely lame if you need a day marked in a calendar to show someone you care or make you feel fulfilled. i’m trying to be above petty emotions i don’t want pointless things making me feel bad about myself. also i hope no one reads this and thinks that i think i’m better than anyone else i’m writing this mostly as a reminder to myself but if it causes someone to re-evaluate their way of thinking and gives them a boost that would be nice. i frequently catch myself thinking things that i know i shouldn’t i just want to grow as a person and i want this for others as well.
