致单身的人：你真准备好要谈恋爱？

You can't even make yourself happy.

你甚至都无法使自己快乐

Some people assume that having a boyfriend or girlfriend is the ticket to happiness. They think that it will make things lighter and easier because there's someone there to make them feel content. Though relationships may have this effect, you have to note that if your happiness is dependent on someone else and this person doesn't meet those expectations, you'll end up more miserable than you started.

有些人想当然以为，只要有男朋友或女朋友就会过得快乐。他们以为，到时候一切会变得容易而轻松，因为身边会有人安慰呵护他们。当然，恋爱确实能带来这些好处，但请别忘了：如果你把幸福托付给别人，一旦这个人达不到你的期望，你会超级受伤、悔不当初。

It's your job to make yourself feel happy and fulfilled, with or without a partner. A relationship simply adds value to you but it shouldn't be the one that completes you.

所以，不论有没有恋人，快乐和满足都只能靠你自己创造。恋爱只能为你增光添彩，却无法替代完整的你。
