Vitamin D

This past week I happened to watch one of the most pleasing episodes of "Glee" I have ever seen. It made me feel all warm and happy inside. This is the episode where Kurt and Blaine discuss taking their relationship to the next level. They decide to embrace one another and partake in an encounter that only those who have experience can describe. They decide to have sex.

Yes. Sex. Their passion and love for each other is evident and quite hot if I say so myself. The way they gaze into each other's eyes only makes my heart melt. Kurt and Blaine were made for each other (in the series); they complete each other. They obviously love each other, and they're happy. Their warm embrace filled my eyes with tears, and their cute cuddle session tickled me pink.

I would like to point out that they did not show any physical proof of the acts, nor were there any audio implications of the acts. I think the show shoved down barriers and created a message for youth. Kurt and Blaine made it clear that they wouldn't go that far unless they were ready, and they wanted to give something special to each other.

After watching the episode, I spoke to many of my friends about it and we all complained about the same thing... How come we can't have that kind of relationship?

Yes, yes. We were succumbed to the powers of the media, and dragged into the idea that in order to be happy, we needed to have significant others. However, after a while I thought about it, and came to this conclusion. We don't need a Kurt or Blaine to make us happy. We don't need a significant other in our lives at this moment. We should be enjoying our youth, our individuality. We should be more focused on the future of our lives. There are times when it's okay to think about yourself and even give to yourself. We don't need another person to make ourselves happy.

Now, I've gotten excuses like, "But he makes me happy," "I can't live without her," "She is my everything." I'm sorry, but last time I checked you got along with your life just fine before you met that person. A person can't sustain life for another person unless they're conjoined twins or have a donated organ. You are the only person that can make you feel whole. True happiness comes from a euphoria within. If you can't be happy with yourself, how on earth will you be happy in another person's arms?

I'm going to be perfectly honest, I would love it if I had a Blaine in my life. Shoot, I'd be giddier than a drag queen getting a new pair of heels that actually fit her (trust me, it's entertaining). But, I realize that I am perfectly happy alone and that my happiness is genuine.

Don't worry darlings, your Blaine will come, and gentlemen, your Rachel will come sooner than you know it. It's something that you can't go searching for; it's something that smacks you in the face spontaneously. If something does come your way, and you're wary about it, don't go for it. Affection is something that should spark when your hands touch. You will know when it's right. Flattery can only take you so far in a relationship, but true passion and desire can make it last a lifetime.

Just breathe and be yourself. Remember, you are perfectly fine being single; you don't need to use a significant other as a crutch to happiness. Your love will come soon enough, just wait and see. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
