None of us is willing to say it because if we do, we run the risk of sounding desperate, so here it is, plain and simple; Why is it so wrong to need someone to feel whole? I know that so many self-sufficient, career driven women out there would tear me to shreds for saying this, but not all of us can function properly alone. There is a difference between always wanting to be with someone, and needing/wanting a companion, someone to share your life with and love. Because it's in our nature, written in to our genetic code, to find someone who, as cheesy as it may sound, completes us, that balances us out, that is everything we are not.
I may be worse than most, although maybe not, because who am I, really, to tell what others think, to read minds? But I find myself going through a bout of "sizing up" any potential guy and imagining if maybe I could see myself spending my life with him. Maybe I am crazy, but it really is the only thing that keeps me alive, from day to day. It is the core of me, take it away and I can't fathom life. It's why I'm afraid to step onto the field and play the ball game, because everyone's bound to strike out once or twice, but I don't know if I could handle a broken heart. To me, a broken heart seems like the end of the world. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic.
