Little Teacher

So I was eating lunch with some friends feeling moderatley depressed because another idiot of a male tried to play me. Im sitting there brooding when my friend, Jamie, said something so infinatley wise that I still think she might be Mother Theresa incarnated. She said hat she was happy. When we inquired as to why, she simply answered "I have my best friends all around me, and I am totaly happy with my life right now." She doesn't have, want or need a boyfrind to make her happy. She's happy because of every other reason to be happy about, all of those reasons that had been lost unto me. I realized that I was sad because of an infintile boy who couldn't control his hormones. When, god, I had so many other things to be happy about! Isn't it messed up that sometimes we think the only way to be ahppy, or the best kind of happiness is when we have a significant other? In all truth I was still sad sometimes even when I was with my boyfriend of ten months. Because it doesn't fix everything to be with someone. It's just an aspect of our lives that we seem to let dominate us. But it shouldn't. What a waste, for me to be upset because I don't have a boyfriend right now, while the whole time I have everything else! I feel stupid for just figuring this out, while my friend who is considered "less experienced" in such matters has had it understood for years. I'm happy that I see this, I just hope I have the self-confidance to do it.
