Ain't Happily Ever After

Many people tend to live in some kind of mirage when it comes to Second Life romances. Actually I should extend that to the entire online world since this is simply a portion of romance life that rarely extends into real life. Like you learned growing up is “Friends will come and go but family will always be there”. It is absolutely true in that statement. For those who have opened their hearts for love online can probably count on more than one hand how many significant others have left them through the years. I am no exception to this pain of giving then losing love countless times. Are there plenty of fishes in the internet sea? Yes there is. However, finding a fish that will swim for the long-haul is as hard as feeling a pea under a pillow of thousand pillows. You eventually give up trying for awhile until you get lonely being single. The whole point of getting close to a significant other online is in hopes that one day in the near future you both will meet in real life. Being with someone who will do that is rare even if you both live in the same state or close in mileage. If you find someone like that then you should hold on to them because that is a beyond special thing to have in your life. I haven’t been blessed with meeting someone special who would do anything to be with me in both worlds. Sure I have had guys say they would but let’s be honest here that it was usually to get what they wanted. Love is not a joy when you have to fight to get what you need or want in return. You come to the conclusion that without love being a two-sided street then you are better off being alone instead of being in a state of crying when the one you love doesn’t seem to care how you feel. Life can be rough enough without dealing with the pains of romance going sour. Sometimes it is good going solo and there are times when you need to be with another person to fulfill what your life is missing.
