my other whole

i have a bone to pick with the saying "i'm just looking for my other half." my reasoning is simple. it assumes that i am only half of a person until i can frantically find another person to make me whole. i feel like it is far too easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you need another person to share your life with just for validation. nobody wants to hangout with the person who is forever textingcallingyearning for their significant other.

it may sound like i'm a hater of love, but i am just the opposite. i'm probably one of the most hopeless romantics you'll ever meet and nothing makes me happier than seeing my friends in genuine, healthy relationships. but my whole thing is why the eff do we "settle"? i'm gonna take my sweet time to wholly discover who i am [not in the context of being with someone else] that way, when i do find that oh so special someone, i'll know that it is me that they have truly fallen in love with, and not the person i molded myself into to fit this relationship. if nothing else, i'll fall asleep a lot better knowing just that.

so if you're out there: i'm looking for my other whole...who doesn't need me, but wants me. [miss independent, holla]

and when i find you, we can become a superwhole or something...and fight off aliens and shit [it's gonna be tiiiiight]

que sera, sera.
