A recent study shows that most people are happiest at 33. They say that “By this age innocence has been lost, but our sense of reality is mixed with a strong sense of hope, a ‘can do’ spirit, and a healthy belief in our own talents and abilities.”
But it doesn't say anything about being happy in love.
"Many respondents claimed that their happiness at 33 came from fulfillment in their professional lives, as well as having a support system of family and friends. Not surprisingly, 36% said they were happiest when they had children."
Fulfillment in professional life-- Yes, pretty much.
Support system of family friends-- Check!
Happiest when I had Joaquin-- OF COURSE!
But again, none of the respondents mentioned anything about settling down, getting married or just being happy in the Lu-huv department.
Ha.
Looks like a lot of people have been burned by love and have found true happiness in other things. Seems to me like the universe is saying that there a lot of loveless not-in-committed-relationships people out there and they're happy anyway, so I can conclude that I don't need a someone/partner/boyfriend/husband to be in high spirits. That all these--a promising career, a steady support system and kids--are all you need and you're set for a blissful rainbow-colored life.
I guess in this day and age, a relationship has been demoted to something nice-to-have instead of a must-have.
And believe me, I can live with that without feeling any resentment from cupid and his bow and arrow.
But who knows, lightning can strike.
