raise the bar high

What is it that will truly make you happy in life?  Don’t think too hard about this question, but answer it with the first thing that comes to your mind.  Now I could bet that a majority of you would answer this question in relating your happiness to “love” or “finding true love.”  I can respect that, and I am not here to say that any of you are wrong in thinking this.  However, lately I have really been thinking a lot on this subject, mainly because I have been asked multiple times through twitter, formspring, etc. about my “love life”, and I am even on a new post on DJ Rossstar’s website about being set up with my perfect match.  Why is it that a girl can’t be enjoying life while being single?  For me, life isn’t about finding another person to make me feel good about myself.  I’m still young, and I am an extremely independent and ambitious person.  What makes me happy in life is accomplishing my goals on my own, and finding out more about myself through each day with the new endeavors that life throws at me.  I don’t need to rush into a relationship, and neither should anyone else.  Be happy and content with who you are and with where you are in life, and then let love come to you when it’s the right time and never settle for anything less than you deserve.

love always,

jess
