In the beginning of every year, the average person makes a resolution for the new year. Most people aim to lose those couple pounds they been wanting to for the past few years or making more money and even having a better sleep schedule. Of course everyones resolutions are different but one of the common ones is finding the one or rathe going on a date to start off. This intensify as February draws near which is the dreaded month of love and where every person who is single get's reminded of how alone they really are. Cupid is a son of a bitch isn't it but truly it's our fault we feel that way.
You see we put ourselves in a box or rather we categorize ourselves rather too much and too harshly. Were either happy or sad, were either rich or poor, and were either single or in a relationship. We separate ourselves in two categories which we then add up to see if were happy or sad which just frustrates ourselves in the end. We never meet in the middle but we put ourselves to live on two different extremes. However, as you can clearly see that is both unhealthy and unrealistic.
We don't need someone to tell us if were happy or sad, we don't need to be rich to feel rich, and we don't need someone to fill the void that we feel. Yes, it is grand to find someone to love and spend the rest of our life with but that doesn't fix what isn't there and it also doesn't make us instantly happy. We are subjects of this constant reminders of our social, relationship and financial status because of social media. Millions of people posting about there life but what really matters is to focus on yourself and not look at other people steering their own boat because your the only one who can control things in your life and waiting for the one isn't going to fix anything. Go after self love. This has been the Topic of the Week, thanks for reading. Ricardo signing off.
