Love is a luxury, not a necessity.
Every short while, my friends ask me whether I'm still waiting and chasing, because I wrote "chasing and waiting" in my Skype profile. But my answer is always the same. Is there honestly anyone on my mind? Sure, I bet every single person has someone in mind. But why am I not only waiting, but also chasing? Because these are two totally different things.
"Waiting" means I am still waiting for that person, but maybe one day I won't be.
"Chasing" means I am chasing fate, and pursuing my dreams and the meaning of my life.
Many people believe that to find true love, they must fall in love with many people and choose the one who most suits them. However, you may deeply regret things you've done in each relationship. But sometimes you can discover what you want after just one heartbreak.
On the other hand, I don't like waiting long for someone's love. Even if you are crazy about somebody, you don't have to spend your whole heart waiting for him. I know many people want to stay with someone who can provide a sense of security, and more.
Whatever. Who can guarantee this person won't leave you in the future? Luckily, there is another kind of security that belongs only to the self.
And do you believe everyone was born with a mission? We can also call it the meaning of our life. With it in mind, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can tread bravely onward because at least you know your life is meaningful and your mission will never betray you, even if it's buried deep in your heart.
Never treat love as a necessity, but only as a luxury. You will learn to cherish the meaning of your life, and in the process, learn to love others in addition to yourself.
"""Good work, Joling. It sounds like you've already discovered your life's purpose, and that isn't easy.
