Jolly Giant Fifteen

It's funny how we search outside of ourselves for something to complete us -- to fill the empty spaces in our lives and make us whole.
I'm as guilty of this as the next girl. Look at how many blog postings have been on relationships. Now compare that to postings about family. (yeah, there aren't any)
We don't have empty spaces in our lives that need to be filled, so"our one true love" isn't needed to do that.
Yes, we can hope to someday find someone who will make our toes curl, our skin crawl, and our eyes widen in the best sort of way. But that someone is only there to compliment who we are and enable us to better become who we'd like to be.
But no person is needed to "complete you," nothing can be purchased to make you happy, and no party or club or sporting event can permanently change your mood.

Universal Truth Number Fifteen
Nothing outside yourself is needed for happiness.

We came into this world with everything we need: our fantastic personalities, our darling families, and the knowledge that whatever happens in this life - we'll always have those first two things.
Don't look for contentment outside of yourself, ultimately it can be found in the simplest parts of your life.
