Quest for Happiness.
Something really weird happened today. It was Lee-Ann's card hula game. Mine ended up having the king and queen facing each other, meaning the guy--whoever he is--and I have the same feelings for each other. The king was placed beside my heart, meaning he's supposedly close to my heart. But I need to open it so he can get through.
What bothered me was that his heart was below him and Lee-Ann explained that before I can get close to his heart, he has to resolve some issues first.
So much for card games. My chance of being that guy's queen is as slim as drawing a red jack anyway.

Lately, I've realized how relationships can be so hard to keep and maintain while you're still young and fickle and well, shallow. And how easy you can mistake infatuation for love. And how words like "convenience" can overshadow "effort".
And so my quest for Happiness begins.
He doesn't have to make me happy all the time, he just has to keep me happy.
He doesn't have to be summa cum laude smart, he just has to be street-smart and he just has to have the right goals and values.
He doesn't have to carry the refrigerator, he just has to know how to do the plumbing and wiring.
He doesn't have to meet with me all the time, he just has to be there all the time.
He doesn't have to be really tall or moreno to be hot, he just has to carry himself well.
He doesn't have to be emotionally stable, he just has to be careful with the way he handles his feelings.
He doesn't have to be extremely sweet and romantic, he just has to hold on to details from conversations.
He doesn't have to say intellectually stimulating things most of the time, he just has to know how to listen--and make me laugh.
And he doesn't have to be Chris Carrabba, he just has to sing Hands Down for me. :)
And I have my entire lifetime to find him ;)

As for now, schoolgirl crushes will do.
Plus I've got the best-est friends ever who mean so much more to me than any other guy would! ;)
