I think it is safe to say that all people want to be happy. People search their whole lives for happiness. What people do not realize is that happiness is not something you find, happiness is a state of being. People look for happiness in money, cars, houses, drugs, sex, and even love. These things do not create happiness, they amplify it. You must first achieve it. Happiness comes from within and until you are happy with yourself you will never truley be happy even with the greatest spouse or all of the money in the world. Stop searching for a fish on the beach.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that these things can't be to blame for times of unhappiness. But to determine the source of unhappiness one must first start with themself.
Now that being said I find it obsurd for someone to believe that being in love/ being loved can possibly make them happy. If you think you have to rely on someone else to be happy then you obviously don't love yourself. So instead of spending your days trying to improve yourself and love yourself you are using your time trying to improve a relationship that is destined for failure.

Unwanted hearts
Boy meets girl. Boy and girl start dating. Boy and girl fall in love with each other. Boy gives heart to girl. Girl takes heart and in return gives boy imitation heart. Time passes by. Girl begins to drift away from boy. With her bags packed and his heart in her hand she walks out of his life.
Sad story isn't it? Unfortunately it is a story most of us know all to well. But the question is, what is the boy supposed to do now? How could he ever truly be completely happy without a heart to love another with?
When a person gives their heart to you don't take it lightly. It is a very special and powerful thing. And when you give your heart away make sure it is to the right person because if they are the wrong person you will never see that heart again. The heart, much like any other part of the human body, is able to heal itself. A strong person is able to regrow a new heart. As the new heart grows it is filled with love- the elixir and purpose for its very existence. It will not be the same heart as the one that was given away for you are no longer the same person but that doesn't make it any less special than the previous. The host of this new heart can do things to ensure that it is a good worthy heart. With faith, love for oneself, an open mind, and a forgiving nature they can feed the new heart helping it grow. When the host feels the new heart is ready and the right person has come along they can give it to another filled with their love.
But you might ask what happened to the old heart. Eventually the love that was contained inside it will die and so will the heart. It will become and empty shell, a mere memory of what once was. At that point it is up to its new owner whether to throw it away or keep it as a keepsake in their trophy case of life.
