Some of you: Oh, you found someone! That's love and you finally have it! This girl with the stars in her eyes! This is how I found [insert their significant others name] and we'd been happy ever since! I'm so happy you met her! Your life is SO going to be better now that you have found someone!
Me:......
Some of you: You found someone, right? Going out?
Me:......
Some of you: You .....wait.....*reads post again* ......oh.....you haven't met.....wait.....um....I kind of jumped the gun.
Me: ......
Some of you: Um....gee....your.....your life means something......your life has worth and value even without being in love.....
Me:......*still looking at you*
Some of you: ....so you won't change your profile photo to a couple's photos.......and you um......hmmmm......this is awkward....
Me:........*not letting you off the hook*
Some of you: .........I'm sorry......it's ok to be an individual.....
Me: *makes that hand motion that tells you to keep going*
Some of you: .....and your life isn't meaningless if you're single.......
Me: .*motions*
Some of you: ........and you are not an incomplete person......
Me: *motions*
Some of you: .......and not everyone needs to be in a relationship.....and that just because my definition of joy does not mean that I have to impose that on everyone.....
Me:*motions*
Some of you: .....because that's bad.......and insulting......and it's also not realistic........
Me: *smiles and rings a bell. Picks up a small cracker and tosses it to you as a reward*
Some of you:.......can......can I go now........please?
Me: *nods*
Moral: Don't assume I'm not happy. Don't assume I need someone to complete me. Don't assume your happy is mind. Also realize I just shared a glance, not a future, but a glance.
