致單身的人：你真準備好要談戀愛？

You can't even make yourself happy.

你甚至都無法使自己快樂

Some people assume that having a boyfriend or girlfriend is the ticket to happiness. They think that it will make things lighter and easier because there's someone there to make them feel content. Though relationships may have this effect, you have to note that if your happiness is dependent on someone else and this person doesn't meet those expectations, you'll end up more miserable than you started.

有些人想當然以為，只要有男朋友或女朋友就會過得快樂。他們以為，到時候一切會變得容易而輕松，因為身邊會有人安慰呵護他們。當然，戀愛確實能帶來這些好處，但請別忘了：如果你把幸福托付給別人，一旦這個人達不到你的期望，你會超級受傷、悔不當初。

It's your job to make yourself feel happy and fulfilled, with or without a partner. A relationship simply adds value to you but it shouldn't be the one that completes you.

所以，不論有沒有戀人，快樂和滿足都只能靠你自己創造。戀愛只能為你增光添彩，卻無法替代完整的你。
