And then I realized…

I already have someone who does all that conversation and fun, even if they are just a friend at the moment. That could change, of course, but when he’s around I don’t have need of anyone else.

And then the moment came for me to close another chapter. You don’t keep a lady waiting 2 to 3 months and then just expect her to take you back the moment you decide you don’t like being alone and/or there’s no one else out there wants to be with you. When you find someone who enjoys your company, you count yourself lucky. I count myself lucky, even with just my friend.

So all doors closed for good, except for a few people I’ve met that I had fun with (not that kind) but am doubtful of. And a bunch of unknowns. Admittedly there’s a door open in my heart for my best friend, but at the moment that has a storm door on it, ’cause he has someone. I’ll be good and patient.

If they make you wait long times, they don’t love you. If they don’t look for you, they don’t love you. If they don’t communicate with you, they don’t love you. It’s very simple. Don’t watch what they say, watch what they do. Especially watch if they are there for you, to support you emotionally, and are willing to just be around when they can’t help or don’t know what to say. It’s a beautiful thing when you find someone who will stand together with you, even as a friend. Don’t waste it and don’t lose it by shunning them.

Remember, Tomorrow is not promised. Love is unconditional, but relationships are not. If someone drives you crazy, they are *always* going to drive you crazy and it’s not worth being with someone only to find they always upset you or leave you being alone. Common saying in SL is Don’t prioritize someone to whom you are only an option. The happiest people are the ones who make love a priority when they find it. *Together* they make it their priority, working together.
