Why Dogs Make The Best Companions

Recently, I have started a new chapter in my life, one that I am very excited about. Unfortunately, there is still one thing that I feel that I am missing out on. There are times when I do feel lonely and wish I had a significant other, but right now that is not really an option, so I need to fulfill my loneliness in other way. After much thought and observation, I have come to the perfect conclusion--I need a dog!!!

I never used to believe in the cliche saying "Dog is man's best friend", but as I continue to grow and create more experiences, I realized that this saying is in fact true. Everyday I walk the busy streets of New York City, which is prime time for people watching by the way, and I envy the happy couples in hopes that I will one day have that; however, the people who loo the happiest are the dog owners. Dogs over men!

Dogs are loyal and are there for you no matter what. They always know how to make you feel better when you are down. Dogs unconditionally love you! Men come and go, but dogs are loving to their owners until the end. There is no better feeling than coming home after a stressful day and seeing your dog anxiously waiting for you by the door. Yes, men don't have tails, but they'd probably be sitting on the couch anyway. Also, they are always there to pick you up when you're down. I don't know if dogs have a sixth sense, but they know when their owner is having an off day, and will do whatever they can to make it better.

It upsets me that I am not permitted to have a dog where I live, because I want that companionship that I currently can't find in a man. So for now I must try to find a different way to fulfill my loneliness (no I don't mean drinking), and can only dream about the day I have a dog of my own.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
