My best friend and my girlfriend are to blame....

[phree_mind]

--------This entry is dedicated to being single,
-----------------------------------but if you pay attention,
-------------it also applies to a lot of other things.

At times it's liberating
freedom of choice
the world at your heels
no pressure
no ties.
It's like being the captain of a ship, exploring uncharted seas.
It feels like the first time you did a pull up,
or when you were finally tall enough to reach that elusive elevator button.
It's exhilerating.

but sometimes,
being single feels like hauling bricks.
like holding your head above the water.
like sitting in an empty room.
quiet jealousy when looking at the relationships of your friends,
while trying to maintain the idea that you don't need that,
when you really feel like you do.

somehow, i think that relationships provide us with something that, as humans, we need.
an emotional stability.
it does our soul good to feel so CONNECTED to something; to someone.
a connection like two fitting puzzle pieces
so relieved to find eachother

------------------------but is the purpose of a puzzle piece merely to fit in with another?
-------------no.
--------------------------------in the end, it's all about the picture
