Ugh! Shudder! It always makes me tremble when I hear people refer to their significant other as their other half. The definition of co-dependence.
No, most people are living their lives the wrong way round. Life is not outside in, it’s inside out. Find anyone who says “don’t look inwards”, you’ll find someone very controlling.
I ask you again, what is it that you really want?
But Martin, that is so selfish, you’ll say.
Please observe the people who say you’re selfish for wanting what you want and, guess what, you’ll encounter people who just want you to do what they want you to do.
It’s a massive cliché now to say “build your own dream or find yourself building someone else’s.” but it’s true. We’re all here for a reason and your quest, should you choose to accept it, is to find your path and leave others to theirs.
And, on occasion, you’ll find someone to walk with you but never, ever, take a step thinking you’re incomplete.
You are complete, you just don’t know it yet.
