Shattering 50 Nasty Myths About Love For some mysterious reason, we believe that we'll live happily together in a romantic relationship beginning at the age of sixteen and continuing till death do us part. Whenever we don't experience love based on passion, understanding and a deep spiritual connection, we perceive it as a peculiar mistake of destiny and wait for this abnormal state to end. Being single can feel quite burdensome if we carry on our slumped shoulders a mass of weighty sacred cows, with their firm judgments on love and solitariness. For example, the belief that we lack the only necessity in life, since all we need is love, might be somewhat discouraging. The perception that our true love would ride his white horse to our tower, preferably through a wall of thorns, can also make an active search for love seem inconceivable. Moving the sacred herd out of our embittered way could, therefore, show us how to behave differently, and free us to blissfully celebrate the life we want. HAPPILY EVER BEFORE is based on the millions of years my friends and I had gone through as bachelorettes, divorcees and widows, and on missing the blessedness of singlehood when some of us got married. Humorously shattering the myths, which prevent us from either enjoy singlehood or leave it behind, can free us to carry out our dreams.
