I heard this song on the radio today. It struck me as a great song for one, and I think about everyone's struggles here at DS. It makes me think sometimes, that no matter how bad it gets, we all want happiness. Some just find it sooner than others. Some find it, lose it and struggle to regain it. And sometimes we forget about enjoying the ride to get to that happiness.
'm guilty of it. I'm always searching for that instant gratification whether it be something sweet to eat, or looking for someone to be in my life.
Maybe, just maybe, the reason I'm 32 and still single is not because of me, but because there is a bigger plan for my happiness. Maybe it's already here, already in front of me in a locked box and I just don't have all the keys to unlock it. Maybe the key to my happiness is to enjoy and learn to treasure/appreciated the things I already have in my life and enjoy the ride.

That's a beautiful song and I agree 100% that most of us here on DS can relate to it.

Ironic...one of my favorite songs. But hell, you're only 32. You'll get there.

Hey. Don't worry about your age Quacked. I'm 46 and still single. Never thought THAT would happen!! Sheesh. I agree with you though. There is a bigger plan. I'll find it out sooner or later.

If you quit worrying about tomorrow and stop to enjoy today you might see all the beauty in the life you have. Enjoy the ride!

Exactly. I do need to enjoy the ride. Sometimes I wish I had someone to join me for the ride

I was just having a convo with some friends the other night. My one friend, Jenn, said something like "I just can't wait to make new friends." As she kept talking about needing/wanting "more" this, "more" that, my friend Joanne responded, "I just want to be able to truly appreciate that which I already have." Anyway, it really struck a chord with me and I'm trying to remember that as I go day by day.

BTW I do love this song, and I forgot to mention that I wasn't meaning to imply that you were necessarily the "Jenn" in my situation. Just resonating with your comment about "Maybe the key to my happiness is to enjoy and learn to treasure/appreciate the things I already have in my life and enjoy the ride." Hope you're havin a good night!
