I truly believe this is one of the desires of the flesh.
No matter how successful you get, you have this deep desire to cling to another soul. And you are always looking for it in everything. If it weren't for companionship, I doubt society would exist or for that matter even relationships.
I've been trying to fight this want/need for a while now.. And it's been so damn hard. I thought I could you know live on my own and everything, all to become "independent". But I learnt a very valuable lesson in the process.
Many of you may not agree with this, but I'm done caring.
Companionship doesn't nullify independence. Talking to someone, sharing you joys and sadness doesn't make you a dependent person. It just makes you human.
I love how you sometimes find it in the most unlikely of places/persons.
"It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being"
