Are we there yet?

What is it really we search for in life? Are people truly happy? If so is it available for everyone or just a few?

I often asked myself these questions while I am trotting to the subway, or if I am walking through a park, or just sitting in my window looking out on the different kinds of people going about their lives and living. I mean it may sound like I am trying to be deep or come up with a deeper solution to something I  want to manifest, but honestly I am really curious as to what the answers to these questions might be.

Are we there yet?

I often wonder if the people who professed their love on social medias are the happiest or is it the ones who are busy being in love and trapped in their heavenly bliss, evolving, enjoying, grasping onto that every moment? I am sure it's the latter.

Are we there yet?

I often remembered that when I am having such a feeling. The feeling of being utterly in love.  I am always too engulfed in it to even notice anything else. I could be on fire and wouldn't even care because it's moments like those you know you have lived, if the thought of dying would satisfy you.

Are we there yet?

I was having a conversation the other day with my sister. One of many conversations that we have had a million times and one of which I will soon to have, again. This is the one conversation every coupled women feel the need to have with every single women. This is usually the question to which they think you are the one in control of your love destiny, and if you will yourself enough, you will magically find someone perfect for you. As if to say the person that they are with is perfect for them and if that is the case then I AM REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU! Yes this is the conversation that I am sure every single gal, in every singles bar, asked themselves, on every single drunken nights. The never ending conversations as if to say this is the key to true happiness and even if it is, are we suppose to be forced into it? It's like that damn question "what comes first, the chicken or the egg?" My question for those questions is, who the fuck cares?

Are we there yet?

Yes the ever so stupid question, that I am sure single men don't get quite as much, because quite frankly it is always assumed that when a guy is ready he will just produce a mate for better or for worst.

Are we there yet?

When are you gonna try to find somebody to settle down with? When are you gonna settle into a relationship? Don't you want to get married? Soon you will be old and alone blah blah blah blah blahs!!!!!!!

Really? Really? Are we there yet?

Now honestly I think there is always something wrong with the concept of just settling. I was never a big fan of the word, hence I tend to run away from it. Kinda back to my question, is it what that is? Are most people just settling into a life? Is it why we are mostly so unhappy? Is that why we produce such unhappy offsprings? Is it me or are our children now becoming murderers before they even move out of the house? Is this the result of settling? Are we mass producing a generation of settlers? Is it ever gonna stop? When is it gonna stop?

ARE WE THERE YET?

I made a promise to myself along time ago, a promise that I hold dear to my heart. Its kinda like that old saying "if you hate your job, quit." And so on and so forth. If you hate your life, quit. Stop meddling in mine because until I am there, and fully there, I am gonna be right here just being!


As Always,
Sleeples.
