Desire Less

 The message often in movies is what you have isn't good enough. Go try to find a better mate. In the movie The Stepford Wives there is a TV show titled "I Can Do Better." 

Or maybe what you have is as good as it gets. Maybe you already have all that you need and want. Just learn to be happy where you are. It might seem like the grass could be greener on the other side, but what if it's not. 

Learn to love what you already have. You loved it once. You can still love it now, if you desire to. 

People do not fall out of love. They fall out of forgiveness. Understanding. Loving the other person despite the things you don't like about them. Loving without harsh criticism. You may have to come to realize they aren't perfect, but neither are you. Maybe things they do bother you. You most likely bother them too, in many ways. They overlook those things in you. Why can't you overlook those things in them? That is what they deserve. 

Learn to love judgement free again. Let go of the bitterness and skepticism and jaded mentality. Things can always be great if you decide to keep them great.
