I'm not the type of person who believes in love -- or at least, that's what I've been saying over the years. I didn't think there was such a thing as soul mates, or 100% boys/girls. And it's kind of funny that LiveJournal is the thing that changed my mind.
There's this story that's being spotlighted over there about a girl and a boy. She lived in England, he lived in Minneapolis, MN -- they met over LiveJournal, and spent months conversing through emails and phone calls. So then they finally get to meet up -- she was going on a week-long tour of the states, and he arranged to meet her a way's away from where he actually lived. They're still together, and are actually moving in with each other shortly.
Firstly; reading this story is like a big 'screw you' to all of the people who say internet relationships are impossible. This is living proof that you can make an internet relationship work.
Secondly; like I've said, this has changed my mind on the way I feel about love. Maybe there is such a thing as true love. Just because I haven't found the one yet, doesn't mean I won't ever. Hell, maybe I've already found him/her, but because of my whole 'anti-love' thing before I blew it off -- in which case it's obviously my loss.
Reading this story has given me a better outlook on life -- it's made me happier for some reason. Them meeting online is so much more different than if they would've met in a coffee shop or at a party or something.
What single people don't realize is that they're simply searching too hard. There are people like me who don't really search at all, and then there are people like (certain friends I won't name) who are just so desperate that they'll go out with anyone, just hoping that this person will love them.
If you're alone, don't dwell on it. Don't mope around about how you haven't found your 100% boy/girl yet, because you have to remember that s/he is out there someone, and they probably feel the same way you do. Try and keep in mind that if fate'll have it (if you're an asshole, you probably have bad karma though, so that's your fault) you and this person will one day meet.
You can only be as happy as you make yourself. You shouldn't count on others to do so.
