People who know me may not believe I am writing this. But
the truth of the matter is, a certain realisation has dawned upon me, something
that was perhaps, long overdue, but it's never too late*. I have realised what I never thought I would. And
that is: there’s no such thing called love.
It actually is not a thing. Perhaps, it is a feeling. But,
if so, it’s a feeling that we think is love, but what it actually is, is the feeling of happiness, happiness and happiness.
That’s what this thing people call love actually is. All you need is a portion
of happiness... and you’re good to go.
All these years, for
as long as I know, I’ve wanted to fall in love. But actually, all I should have
ever wanted was to... fall in happiness. That’s what I want. Not love. But
happiness. This love thingamajig is just a figment of one’s imagination. Why
try so hard to find something that doesn’t exist. What does exist is happiness.
You don’t need to love someone. You need to be happy with someone. Happy people
should get married. Not people who are in love... people who are in happiness.
So, let happiness IN. Shut this quest for love OUT. Be with
who keeps you happy. Do what makes you happy. Listen to happy things. Have
happy thoughts. Feel happy. F*%k love.
Happiness is your way forward. Chasing after love will just
lead you nowhere. Why? Because there’s no such thing. And thus Valentine's Day, is not a day for 'love-birds', it's a day for people who are happy in life, happy with each other, just plain happy - even just happy with yourself, you don't need anybody else, you can even celebrate this day with your own happy self. Having said that, it still is just another day on the Calendar, a day,
that yes, you can be happy... but why restrict it to ONE DAY ONLY. The beauty of happiness is, you can be it 365
days a year.... so celebrate happiness, everyday, not Valentine’s Day, a day
that comes only once a year.
Thus, there’s no such thing as love. But there is such a
thing as happiness. Find it. Keep it. Be it. Love it (ha!)
