Your happiness is a great and invaluable thing! We all want to be happy, but to what extent? Some people prefer limiting their happiness on account of playing life 'safe', others risk it all to experience that maximum thrill of happiness. Pondering that in my garden as the sun just set today, it got me thinking. Relationships work very similar to that style too. Here's an idea I have...

Single = 50% Happiness
In a relationship = 100% Happiness

And

Single = 50 Sadness
In a relationship = 100% Sadness

By deciding to live life single for a time, you're your own person, what you achieve is your own, you're 'safely' in the 50% zone at all times, never shifting, you're happy to some extent, yet something eventually feels missing. You're neither on top of the world, nor are you down in the dumps.

Deciding to share your life and become some what dependent on another person however, yields experiences and opportunities beyond any boundaries! It unlocks your potential to be happy completely and you can experience the greatest and most sought life experiences. Of course, that also works both ways... You can also experience the worst and least sought experiences that life has to offer and your sadness levels can reach an all time low. That all depends on how you and your other half work at your relationship and generally feel towards another of course!

Maybe that's why they're called your 'other half' because before you met them, you were only at 50% but with them, you're living 100%! But if you ever lose them, you're 0%...

So what are you willing to do to achieve your happiness? Do you play it safe and stick at the constant 50? or do you seek out that special someone to experience that myth-like 100% but in the process you way lose it all and fall to 0%? The way I see it, why not go for that CONSTANT 100% ;)!
