If you are not able to find happiness within yourself without a special someone, you're never going to be able to find happiness within yourself with them.

Special someones don't MAKE you a happier and content person. They ADD more happiness and contentness to your life. To rely on someone else to be YOUR happiness, to be the one thing that keeps you going in life...to be your everything, is very selfish and a relationship that starts out this way is doomed from the beginning, and although it may last, it will wither and will ultimately become something like...."we're only staying together for the kids", or "we do it for the tax break".

I say this from experience. You need to find your own happiness or else you risk draining your special someone of theirs, and there's nothing worse than watching someone else's inner light dim and then go out and know that you played a large roll in that.

I challenge you to make a list of Positive things about yourself, and post it here.
