Welcome to Gaia! ::

Everywhere I turn I see people rushing to find their soulmates, their other half, maybe their better half. Someone to fill them up inside, to wish them happy birthday when everyone else forgets. A love, a match, a perfectly flawed person to compliment and complete them utterly.

I don't. I'm just as anxious as anyone else about finding a boyfriend, that's true. But I don't feel like I need to be completed, like part of me is missing. Why should I? I'm a competent, emotionally stable, smart and attractive human being. I can take care of myself. Why should I feel incomplete just because I don't have a boyfriend?

I want someone to share myself with. And I want to be the person that they can share themselves with. I want them to love me for me, not because I'm piece that fits into a hole inside them. I don't want to complete anyone. People shouldn't be like model airplanes where you have too few or too many pieces and the instructions are in a Japanese-Gaelic hybrid language with unhelpful and insulting pictographs in the margins.

Take a look at yourselves. You're probably more complete than you think.

I just want a teddy bear.

Me too.

... But don't tell anyone. ninja

I want a teddy bear too. And some hot sex. A hot sex partner would be sweet.

Also a new bodypillow, my old one seems to be falling apart.

Hmmm....I don't know if soulmates exist, but if you just see someone and you're all, OH! You're the person! Then I'd want to glom onto them too.

Be excellent to each other...and PARTY ON DUDES!

Down with relationships!

VerhextSelbst: I've changed my mind. I don't want [him].
AnimatedTempest: so quickly?
VerhextSelbst: Yes. I'm not really any good at this s**t. He's not interested. I can find other things to do.
AnimatedTempest: *hugs*
AnimatedTempest: For some reason
AnimatedTempest: I rememebered that a couple years back that I promised someone that if we both didnt have someone at like 30 we would get together
AnimatedTempest: I want to find that person again
AnimatedTempest: and tell them the promise is off
VerhextSelbst: Ha!
VerhextSelbst: Yeah, I think I'm just going to swear off relationships. My life will be a lot easier.
AnimatedTempest: Single power!
AnimatedTempest: *does stupid hand move*
VerhextSelbst: *mimicks stupid hand move and helps to invent secret handshake*
AnimatedTempest: *is thrilled*
AnimatedTempest: I think that I will become a nun in the church of g .. ahha
AnimatedTempest: hahaha*
VerhextSelbst: Church of G?
AnimatedTempest: Yes
AnimatedTempest: I made a bible you know
AnimatedTempest: a very bored freshman can become creative

Sentiments like that annoy me, as they tend to trivialize love and turn it into something that can be easily gotten. neutral I'm not saying that love is impossible, I'm more saying that love isn't something that you get with every relationship...

I see love as something that can happen on diffrent levels and in diffrent ways. As in the love that you have for your friends, the ones for your family, love of food/things and the love that is shared between lovers.
The later I don't think can be had in every relationship, it's more precious in a way- it doens't happen overnight, a week, a month... it takes a long time to devellop as it's something that is shared between two people who understand and accept one another.

I think alot of people fall under the guise of infatuation personally. *shrugs*

Though, as you said Nadia. People don't need another person to be compleat, in fact >.> I often wonder how a relationship could function properly if one of the people was "incompleat".

Yay for poligamy.

Well if you believe in soul mates and reincarnation, then it could have been just one missed opportunity. Maybe her next soul mate will be a little baby right now...or if the iconic class of soulmate, she needs to find someone else with the same totem.
