You need to step out and take a trip for your own good. Though you might grumble at first over the sudden change of plans, you should return feeling refreshed and revived, so go ahead and leave your safe ways behind. You can always come back to them later if you miss them. Who knows? You might even learn something new and awesome that becomes a permanent part of your life.

You’re so focused on improving your love life that you can forget the most important part: enjoying what’s here right now. If you’re starting out with someone, hurray! If you’re looking, celebrate the possibilities.

The things that you thought were so important in a partner turn out to be pretty silly when you think about the person you’re actually with. Love is funny: If you’re lucky, you get what you need, not what you thought you wanted.

People normally dependent on you are starting to get a taste of independence. It’s only baby steps but it registers nonetheless. Consider it a test run, so you don’t have to deal with any sudden changes down the road.
