Alone But Not Lonely (Or At Least I'm trying)
Okay, so you know what irks me as of late? Society making me feel as if as long as I'm single, my life is incomplete. Yes, it's wonderful when you find "the one" and I look forward to the day that happens for me, obviously. However, It's not like life doesn't begin until that day. I worked my ass off, blood, sweat, and tears to become the person I am today and you know what? I didn't do it for the sake of one person I may very well have yet to meet. I wouldn't /want/ to be in the company of someone who is vain enough to believe that I exist just for them anyway, quite frankly. There is so much beauty in the world, and it's definitely not all contained within one person. I want "the one" for me to be someone who will encourage me to seek out all that beauty waiting for me as opposed to expecting me to see them as it's only (or at least main) source. The things that complete me may be numerous and scattered all over the place, but they are and will continue to be things that I wouldn't trade for the world. That person will understand clearly that they are one of /many/ of those things. That being the case, I'll never find myself thinking my life has gone to s*** when one of those many pieces falls out of place (it'll happen occasionally, you know).
There's also the fact that we're not even the same person for everyone for Pete's sake! I am completely willing to admit that if you asked two different people to describe me, you are pretty likely to get different answers from each of them. Different qualities in others bring out different qualities in us. I (and everyone else) am a multifaceted person. There are things about me that one person will appreciate more than others. Hell, I'll even go to the extent of saying I bet the things one person can't f***ing /stand/ about me (a long list I'm sure) are the same things another likes about me (I can only hope that is an equally long list). The point is, each and every one of us is more than one person could ever really hope to appreciate completely. As such, I choose to surround myself with all types of folks who appreciate various aspects of me and will continue to do so. That is what makes me feel complete. That is what makes my life worthwhile. As such, I can f***ing wait, thanks :)
