So if you knew, with indisputable certainty, that love was never going to be yours, how would you live your life differently? What about your daily routine would you alter? What about your long-term plans?Your first inclination may be to say "Nothing." After all, you're a smart person. You have plans that don't involve someone else's influence. We all do. But ponder it a few moments more. Because here's what we don't want to admit about love: it is a crutch that we use all the time. The idea that someday somebody will love all our flaws is a subtle excuse not to work on them. The principle of two halves making a whole restrains us from becoming our own better half. We want someone to swoop in during our darkest hour and save us, but what if we knew they never would? We'd have to start doing everything differently. -Read This If You're Worried That You'll Never Find 'The One' (Heidi Priebe)
