Filled to the top.

There was a time in my life, when I truly believed, and had come to accept, that I would be alone. I distinctly remember saying these exact words to my mother, "I am so full of love, and yet I have no one to give it to."
Some people race through life in the search for success, money, or recognition...I was searching for a kind of happiness that I didn't even believe existed, yet hoped, for fairytale sake, that it was out there somewhere.
Only now have I come to realize the tunnel vision I had back then, so dead intent on finding a life partner that I failed to see all of the love that was being reciprocated to me by friends and family. It is now that I sit in silence and realize I have achieved life's biggest most elaborate goal. Happiness. Not only did I find my life partner, that life partner is my soul mate of many lives and has given me the beginning of a beautiful family, but also through growth, both personal and interpersonal, I am able to see the abundant reciprocity of love coming from all of you.
I no longer feel alone in a crowded room. I no longer long for anyone, or anything. I no longer hope to find my fairy tale, for I have found it. It all exists. All of it.
I am brimming with happiness...Just brimming.
