Why do I feel... that I should find a partner to find happiness?

Hello Johnny,

This is a beautiful garden.

One thing I'm wondering about today is:

Why do I feel this underlying, nagging sort of voice telling me that I should find a partner to find happiness?

The truth is that I'm really quite content in my life...

and I know that happiness is, in the end, to be found inside of myself, not in someone else.

Hmmmm, what do you think?

It's completely valid to be content without a partner. I often hear someone say "I don't have time for a relationship" or "I just can't deal with that right now", which is code for their belief that all relationships are draining.

Of course, that's not true, so make sure your happy alone-ness doesn't come from false assumptions. The better you know yourself, the easier choosing is.

<3 <3 :)
