On My Own

I do not know everything, but one thing I do know is that for as far back

in time as I have learned or read about, people always needed each other. A woman needing a man, man needing a woman, man needing a man or woman needing a woman. No matter what way, shape or form, someone always needed someone else. Traditionally, it would be to have families and bare children. Over the ages, times have changed to couples being together just for support; whether morally, emotionally or financially. We have always needed one another, but why does that have to be the norm? What about the notion of an independent person? Man or woman. If I could go the rest of my life without ever having my heart broken again, I would not object to it. In fact, I would appreciate it. So am I saying that we almost have to become heartless and emotionless to achieve this? Absolutely not, our entire lives revolve around each other and the feelings we get. I'm simply just saying there is nothing wrong with just being who you are, but don't ever think for a second that you need a man or a woman in your life to be happy. Why can't you make yourself happy? Do the things you want to do, for you, not for someone else. How can we have our own identity if we are too busy hiding behind someone else all our lives? We can't. If we are never without someone attached to us all the time, we only know ourselves as the other person, but hey; you're going to realize that once you're alone, you were nothing at all like that guy or that girl. Find yourself before you find someone else. Otherwise you won't know what you want or who you're looking for, do not be with someone because you need to be, be with someone because you want to be. Someone recently told me, that when you travel [out of the country] you're perspective on life [everything] changes completely. I want to experience that for myself. Maybe I'll find myself, before I decide to trust another person with my heart.
