Growing up

Instead of posting about the generic "what's up?", I thought I might post a few of the deep meaningful thoughts I've had throughout the day.

• You don't have to have a boyfriend to keep you happy. I personally find that true friends who are there for you are enough. Guy friends are lovely company~ ^^
• You shouldn't rely on someone else to make you happy, you should be happy with yourself. If you're not happy with yourself, how do you expect a person to be happy with you? A person will love you for yourself when you learn to love you for yourself.
• Don't always criticize yourself. People find that annoying sometimes. Learn to see your flaws, but also bring out your strengths to compensate for your flaws. But don't brag to the point where you're being egotistical either.
• I find that lately I actually enjoy hearing about other people's love stories. It makes me happy overall to know that people have found the ones they love and enjoy being with, even if it makes me a LITTLE sad/lonely (only natural). I guess that means I've matured huh? XD
• I have learnt to set my priorities straight, and know that if the person truly loves you and it's meant to be, they will wait.
• Don't just jump into a relationship just because you feel lonely or you just want to see what it's like, it may not end up well that way.
• Relationships are not all just fun and games. You need to be prepared to take the time and make the effort for it, it requires sacrifice. If you aren't, don't get into one. But perhaps some people need to learn about the cons of a relationship on their own.

I guess what I've learnt overall is that now that I've gotten over the experiment stage a little, I kind of know what I want from a relationship, and know I shouldn't jump into one until I've found what I'm looking for. If it's meant to be, it will be. I'm not saying just sit there and wait for it to happen of course, but don't force things if it seems like it shouldn't happen. So just be happy with what you have now, and take the opportunity of whatever comes towards you. Love will come eventually, when you least expect it~

(keep in mind that this is all from the perspective of a female, so it may not apply to everyone)

Since this whole post itself is a a learnt thing, I'm not gonna write up a "what I've learnt" fact today.
