Been thinking a lot about relationships lately... So this is just some of my random thought process in words. Why? Because its a fascinating subject. One that is both very personal and very general at the same time. So much "relationship advice" can cover the majority of relationships. Communicate. Be Honest. Give and Take Equally. Be Good to Each Other. And so on and so forth, and its advice applicable across the board whether a romantic bond, a friendship, a familial association, many have the same kind of traits and same kind of rules. But the one that fascinates me the most, as it probably does most people, is the romantic one.
I just marvel at the extent of people to "need" another person. To feel needed, to feel wanted. So much so that you see expressions of desire to points where its either super disgusting or ridiculously pathetic. Teenagers seem to demonstrate both these things far exaggeratedly, especially on Facebook with their lamenting words like: "Oh I can't stop thinking of you. I NEED you.", "I can't live without you I miss you so much", etc... I just wonder at where this need, this desire comes from to have someone there. Why do we feel it? Because we all do, some of us more than others. But, my big question is: is it really necessary? Do we really need to have someone to "complete" us? Can't we be complete on our own? Wouldn't that be better anyway?
