Many of us seem to think that there should be happiness 24/7 in our lives,
so when there are problems in a marriage, the temptation of affairs and divorce is there.
But wherever we are in our life, in or out of love, single or in a long-term relationship or marriage,
there is no happiness 24-7.
There are happy times to cherish and sustain ourselves through trials.
Society has led us to believe that we should be happy and beautiful at all times.
and with someone happy and beautiful at all times.
The most important thing to remember when we are sad, have feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts,
it’s that we don’t know what the next moment will bring, maybe the rainbow after the rain. Love can come at any time
life changes at some point suddenly, at some point over a long period of time.
That there are those of us who dream.
But we don’t want to work to make our dreams come true.
We want them to happen magically, and when they don’t happen or we can’t reach them, many times we give up everything, when we should find a new dream, a new direction in life.
There’s an old song that has great truth in it,
when you can’t be with who you love who you are with.
Each of us has hidden talents, love and friendship that can be given to others, if you see a lonely person, be a friend.
To have a friend, be a friend.
Loneliness ends where friendship begins.
