- The point that is being made, I think, is that one should be happy
- with himself or herself before they try to be in a relationship. If you
- live, eat, sleep and breathe for another human being, that isn't love.
- That's dependency. Love isn't dependency.
-
- Right now, I'm at the point where I am working on being happy with
- myself. I suspect, if "the right person" comes along, even if
- "a relationship isn't high" on my list of priorities, that I won't be
- so stupid as to let that individual slip. While a relationship isn't
- high on my list of priorities, it also isn't completely off my list
- of priorities. It's not like I'm living the life of a nun, for goodness
- sake!
