Look, Ma. No Hands!

Growing up...it sometimes hits you in the face. It's learning to want someone not because you need them, but simply because you want them. You want them not because they are filling something that you're lacking but because they accentuate the good parts in you and dissuade the bad parts. It's being able to stand alone with or without them and be better because of it. It's a strange feeling.

I've just been missing a certain someone and I realized that, while I totally do miss them, my life isn't at a stand still because of the missing. That thought threw me a bit...made me think that my feelings must not be all that strong. After thinking over this line of thought, it hit me. Affection shouldn't be placed because your world would stop spinning without that person. That's a piece of codependency that I want no part of. No, affection should be placed because that person makes your world a little brighter when they're around. Because they add a dash of color to your world.

Hopeless little romantic. Yeah, I know. Shut it.
