Homemade whole wheat chocolate chip banana pancakes with strawberry butter.

As I'm sitting here eating my breakfast and listening to Frank Turner, I am thinking about how extremely happy and appreciative I am with my life: my friends, my family, the things I do, the things I see, and everything in-between. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is, nor do I want it to be. Honestly, what would be the fun in that? Every day I learn something new.... I've learned over the past year more-so than ever that I don't need some guy or anyone else for that matter to fulfill any type of "void" in my heart.... It's up to me to do that, I'm not depending on anyone else. I'm in charge of my own life and my own feelings, not other people. I know that one day someone will come along, or, heck, maybe they already have and we both just don't know it yet... we'll love each other just as much as we each love life and the things that we do.... and we'll be happy, together, not because we feel obliged to or because we're looking for someone to fill some void in our lives... but because we'll both know how to love ourselves before any sort of relationship or commitment. How can you love or be totally committed to someone or expect them to love you or make you feel some certain way if you aren't content with your own life and/or don't really know what makes you happy or what you want? I'm not in any rush; I know what I want, and I am definitely not going to settle for anything less than that. Fuck yeah, bro.
