Life Too Short to be Sad?

Playing around on MySpace tonight, I came across this blog. Definitely felt like I could relate to some degree.

"Life just sucks. A very great guy once said 'Life's too short to be sad.' But when things suck and people you make you cry, what else is there to do but be sad? Guys confuse me, always have. You think you find a good one, pretty sure of it too. He's nice to you and treats you with respect. All of a sudden, things go downhill real quick. Just when you're floating on Cloud 9. And then you're left there saying to yourself "What the fuck?' I thought I was finally ready for a serious relationship, but things changed apparently before I knew it. I'm tried of putting myself out there, over and over, and getting hurt everytime. It gets old, and I'm tired of crying. I have just sat here thinking about what I want in a guy, and obviously my expectations are too high. But look at what assholes I've dated. Haha. I want somebody who trusts me, who can make me a better person, who can get me to open up to them, who I can have fun and laugh with, who opens doors for me, who tells me how they feel, who I feel I possibly couldn't live without, who makes me feel alive, who holds me and I feel safe, and who kisses me and everything in the world is ok. But for now, Im just going to give up until a guy gives me a good enough reason to give him half a chance...
There is this little speech thing on the movie Chasing Amy, and it is just the most beautiful thing I think I've ever heard. And this is so unrealistic, but I want somebody to tell me this...
Alyssa: Why are we stopping?
Holden: Because I can't take this.
Alyssa: Can't take what?
Holden: I love you.
Alyssa: You love me?
Holden: I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't, I can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of.
I guess things will get better for me with time, maybe I really will find a "great guy." PS- The person that said "Lifes too short to be sad." is the one that hurt me I have no choice but to wait this whole thing out I guess.
