Dating is tricky these days. Everyone plays by different dating rules, so don't assume anything.

Sometimes you have to open yourself to the random possibilities of, I guess, destiny.

In some ways, you do lose a bit of freedom but as you get older, you might realize that you've met someone pretty cool - maybe a soulmate - so you're getting released from the endless pursuit of going out and trying to meet new people. So now you get to put your energy into building something that's longer lasting and a bit more meaningful.

You always have to take responsibility for the choices you made. Once you can come to that truth, it's a very satisfying and relieving feeling. You don't have to fight anymore, you just get to do.

Everything is always going through changes in terms of attitudes or mood.

Your love is the ultimate love that empowers all your efforts, a true love for what is indestructibly and perpetually you.

It is OK to be happy in life. Even through all the strife, maybe especially during times of great pain and suffering. We still have to be able to stay close to that joy because we can't save the world in a bad mood.
