Although it’s now a couple of years since I first heard it, I still remember this monologue by Peyton Sawyer—a fictional character in the American drama series, One Tree Hill:
“At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world . . . Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes, all you need is one.”
………………………
No doubt, the search for that one has been the thrill for some and the agony of others. We’ve heard tales of love, with happy endings; likewise, we’re no strangers to stories that could best be described as tragedies than romance.
Will I ever forget when I slaved for love? 😉
Aside those who try to convince themselves that they are fine all by themselves, I think it is a common desire to be one part of a closely-knitted pair. Still, there’s no life in losing oneself, dying daily, just to fit in. Don’t get me wrong: fight for love; don’t throw in the towel over the slightest of wrongs or flaws. But it is wisdom to know when it’s time to quit. In my case, it was the realisation that with this person, there would be no end to me explaining myself and/or my actions.
For those who were alone on Valentine’s day, finding love—for a myriad of reasons, each peculiar—may take a while. But, don’t forget, it’s not impossible.
