The Craving

Has always been for love, acceptance and healing.

It is possible to get these from a relationship, but really it's a too-tall order. I've realized that I have to be able to give those things to myself before I can really give them to others. Otherwise I am just needy. A bottomless pit that can't be patched over.

I want so much for someone else to fix me, heal me.

But I know. It's my own damn fault.

Perhaps true, but nothing says you have to go through it alone.

A very wise statement, Sir.

Western concepts of romantic love encourage us to believe that one person has to be everything to another within the bounds of a love relationship. This is utterly rediculous, impractical and an imposition of the rudest sort...

We are all needy, Souless. Don't be such a fascist with yourself! Just don't try to get everything you need from a single person. It's not possible.

It never hurts to be reminded. Thank you!
