You know, as I was listening to my mother talk to her mother today, she said one thing that particularly interested me.
"Who wants to be single at forty-two?"
It's absolutely true. After reading a friend's essay about the American Dream, which totally stresses on women using their physical selves to get what they want, I realize even if women are equal to men, they will never be viewed equal to men.
I know I don't like to feel alone in this world, but not boy-wise. Honestly, as of right now, I don't need a guy. They're nice but that doesn't mean that they're necessary (something difficult to convince Loic.)
WHY do we feel like we are incomplete without a man by our side? Not a rhetorical question. I mean it. Why? It seems like everyone's goal in life is to find that "special other." Not me. I refuse to subside to that level. I don't need another person to make me feel better about myself.
My mother is so strong. I want to be like her. She and my dad know they appreciate each other, but they don't need to be with each other to make themselves feel better. I know my mom doesn't.
I don't need someone else. I just hope that one day, I will look back at this post, and agree with myself.
