I've had my bouts with co-dependence and too high of expectations of others which only amount to one big pile of steaming disappointment. Freedom, real freedom baby hehe
for me, simply put, love is freedom.
you either have trust or you don't. wanting it, or demanding it, demonstrates a lack of faith that it exists; therefore your beliefs may become self-fulfilling-prophecy.
maybe the love you give is equal to the love you receive, maybe not. but if it's not and that's a problem.... Isn't it our responsibility to jump ship. nobody at fault.... perhaps I'm too independent now for my own good i dunno
