The thing about love that a lot of people don’t realize is that it isn’t necessarily supposed to make you happy. It’s fun if being in love brings happiness, but having one doesn’t guarantee the other. A lot of people chase happiness and mistake that for being in love, and that usually results in people settling for less than what they want. I’ve been ridiculously happy in love, and I’ve also been excruciatingly miserable in love. When I was sad, I wanted to cry my heart out. I wanted to be alone. I didn’t want to get out of bed. But because I was dying inside, it was the time in my life when I felt most alive. In life, love is more important than happiness. If you’re in this just for happiness, then take a Prozac.
Happiness is just an illusion.
