Jul. 30th, 2002 01:14 amYou know, I really hate sleeping alone.
I mean, I've nothing to compare it to, and I'm sure all the pair'd people reading this will chime in with comments about how sharing a bed is no picnic.
But going to bed alone and waking up the next morning with no one to face the day with besides myself...well, leaves me feeling there's something missing.
I've really no right to complain; I've wonderful friends, and so much to do with them this summer.
But I still feel lonely.

Do something, then come and talk about what you did. Then you get tons of people to reassure you what a brilliant move you did, and you go to sleep feeling much better, but still alone.

Date: 2002-07-30 06:02 am (UTC)granted, i wouldn't trade that elbow for anything. i love that elbow more than i thought it was possible to love an elbow (and the man attached to it). before i met this elbow i hated (and this with a capital L.O.A.T.H) to sleep with anyone there.
i don't know how or why this is, (perhaps it's self explanatory), but everyone i know in a satisfying relationship, (based on mutual respect, trust, and honesty, as well as the desire for hot monkey-lovin), was not looking for a relationship at the time that they met. I think that when one is going about their business they give off an aura of self sufficiency, self respect, and happiness...It's extremely attractive. it also has a tendency to attract those that NEED another person to believe themselves happy or complete... a good emotional screening process is a prerequisite and is unfortunately developed only by trial and error)
Knowing that the other person understands that while the relationship broadens the happiness horizon (via intimacy), the other person is not (in the greater sense) wholly responsible for one's happiness is, by and large, what keeps you growing together as individuals and as a couple.
for now, get a body pillow... :)
