'Ponders of an intelligent Idiot'

I was talking to an old acquaintance I knew back in Glasgow who told me that his life is going well all he needs now is a ‘fella’.

Seriously, why do we all think that it takes someone else in our life to just walk in and make it whole?  I once learned when I studied Economics in College that humans psychologically constantly ‘need’.  We are never satisfied and we continue to develop our needs to limitless possibilities.  But that really is off subject.  My main point is the fact that we are brought up thinking/assuming we always need that ‘other-half’ to complete ourselves rather than being whole as we are.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the feeling I have when I am with David and we hang out and we just have laughs! It feels great and I even love the feeling when he isn’t here only because then I realise that I am thinking about wanting him here. 

And that shows I like him loads. 

But before I was going out with David I wasn’t looking or searching for anyone, I was happy and rolling with the punches and just seeing how I got on.  I didn’t need that ‘other-half’ because I was already me and already a whole.  David is just the bad-ass shiny accessory*** to my life, still a part of me but not if that makes sense?  We are two different people that share a really nice connection and that is how I view our relationship. We are together but I don’t see him as making me whole he is the person that takes the limits of the amount of fun I have in life to a whole new level. I would lose this new level if he ever left my life which would be a gutter.  I am just trying to justify my reason as to people not viewing themselves as whole.  No wonder we always want another half.

(Oh and I am considering Electric Picnic since I noticed Dinosaur Jr. are playing.)

***Too be honest I can’t really justify David as an accessory because he is just much more than that. He is my boyfriend and he is an awesome one at that.  Even if we don’t get to see each other that much we still try and its better seeing him a little a week rather than never.  Hmmm….
