"in a relationship"

Pao left for the states yesterday with his family. I started thinking about the things that I'm going to do while he's not here and it just seems odd that more than half of the things that I want to do includes pao or maybe his presence there would be nice.

I can bet my entire allowance this week that almost all the girls who have boyfriends or is used to having one can attest to the fact that it feels that there's something missing if your better (or maybe to be more precise- worse) half isn't there with you. How many girls out there rely on being in a relationship to feel like a "whole" person? It just isn't right.

We are "whole" persons already. God made it so. We should not need anyone to feel complete - being in a relationship with someone makes you NOT lonely, that's basically it. I think everyone is looking for a companion in this world, whether it's your girlfriends, your boyfriend, your family or even your pet... the saying no man is an island is correct but no one invented one that said "man was born incomplete".

Well, what about soulmates? Does that mean that we were all born feeling half empty inside so that you can look for that perfect someone out there out of the 6.5 billion human beings on this earth - the two halves reunite and become whole again. Errrr... NOT! You can make your own choice.

You can have as many soulmates as you want (yes you can!) - they are the people who can understand you in a different level and you feel comfortable with them, knowing that you laid all your cards on the table and it's alright if they see everything. They are companions - someone to laugh with or cry with, someone to do stupid things with! It maybe be hard to have one guy after another but who said life was easy? Sometimes you have to work for it, if that's what you really want.

It is definitely nice to have someone hold your hand when you feel down or laugh with when you do something silly but that doesn't mean that you owe your entire existence to that single person. That's too much pressure on one person. Pity the person who has that much responsibility.

Doesn't it make you wonder if guys think the same way? Do you think they feel like something's missing, too? I wouldn't really know unless I ask but it seems they get along just fine and we can too.
