It's a strange thought for someone like me who lives for human connection and social acceptance. I find myself, by myself on most evenings when Kurt is at work and for those few hours (especially now that it's fall and almost pitch dark by 6pm) doing a lot of thinking and wondering about 'the meaning of life'! Haha...but I really do! Sometimes when I know I have a longer time alone I think about all these things that I want to do and accomplish and all these friends I want to see, and I wonder-am I a stronger person when I'm alone?
Well, yes and no.
I'm a stronger person when left to fend for myself because, well, that's humans' natural instinct. The strong survive in a pack. It takes a community. So many sayings exsist about how humans interact because when left alone, we search. Search for companionship. Why else would there be so many dating sites online? And I can't leave out the fact that I am one of the most competitive people I know! On the outside I'm happy go lucky, but on the inside I feel as though most things in life are a competition! I usually don't get upset about "losing", but my first instinct is to win-whatever situation I'm in. (I have my mother to thank for this instinct :))
The whole reason for this rant is: my husband and I get to see each other everyday. Just some days it's for no more than 10 minutes. Those days suck! But I savour those minutes. Those minutes are what makes the rest of the hours in the day worth it! I love my husband and I am stronger with him, stronger for him, and stronger BECAUSE of him! He is my rock. My companion, my EVERYTHING.
