THOUGHTS : THE FRANTIC SEARCH FOR MRS RIGHT..ISN'T THE END-ALL OF LIFE

I had spent my whole adult existence in a frantic search for Mrs. Right, only to be blindsided by her as soon as I realized I could have a reasonably satisfying life on my own if I had to. Giving up on the idea that we simply have to find a soulmate may be a necessary prerequisite to actually finding one. For one thing, it amounts to a decision to dissociate ourselves from our ego's insatiable neediness and entitlement and to be grateful for what life has given us already. I was liking my solitude. I had given so many blessing, maybe a relationship was an area I could never have...and that was okay. All I need was the newspaper, a great cup of tea. For the first time I wasn't worrying about when I was going to find someone who made me complete. Is it just a coincidence that so many people find true love only after achieving the realization that romance is not the be-all and the end-all of life?
