"WHAT IF" is a killer

"So if you made it, just be glad that you did and stay there. If you ever feel loved or needed, just remember that you're one of the lucky ones." -Straylight Run

Have you ever wondered whether your significant other is the one with whom you should be? Have you wondered whether there might be someone better? Might you be happier had you chosen so-and-so instead? Do you ever ask yourself "What if..."?

Stop it, you fool. No matter who your beloved is, I can guarantee that he or she is not perfect. There's always someone cuter, sexier, smarter, funnier, richer, etc. There's always a next best thing to chase, so that cycle never ends, and it leaves a lot of people bitter and alone.

If it's not broken, don't fix it. If your relationship is broken, that's a different story entirely. But if you're with someone, and you can sincerely say, "I can't imagine loving anyone more," don't test that theory! Don't settle into an unhealthy relationship, but if what you have is good, be happy. The search is over, so stop looking. End of story.
