This was my response to a MUMM called "Should we settle" and quite obviously, I believe we should never settle for less than what our hearts desire:
One should never settle for the moon, when they want the sun. They should not settle for a rose, when they want the bouquet. You should not settle for a simple smile, when you want the ear to ear grin. You should not settle for the tears, when you should be laughing. You should not settle for hearing "I love you", when you want to feel your heart jump just looking into the eyes of the person as they think about how much they love you. Never settle for less than your heart desires. True love is irreplaceable, unconditional, phenomenal. It will never leave you thirsty. It will never leave you empty. It will never leave you wanting. It will never leave you needing. It will never leave you. It's worth waiting for. It's worth wishing, dreaming, hoping, longing for. True love will live on forevermore, settling will only leave you longing for true love forevermore.
