I don't understand when people say that their boyfriend/girlfriend and such is their, "better half". That seems a bit overkill on the self-deprecating attitude, no? I mean, I understand that partners are supposed to bring out the best in you (maybe even the worst in you), but they shouldn't really be considered half of you because the implies that when they're gone, you're not a whole person.

And if you really think that way, you need to analyze your dependency on your partner, because that's not healthy. I'm not against relationships at all and I would encourage them if it seems to be right, but the attachment issues I see in my peers upsets me at times.

Your partner shouldn't be half of you. You are all that is quintessential to being you. Why should your entirety and ability to feel like a whole person depend on another person? It's just not right. A partner should enhance you as a whole human being and compliment you. They can be a part of you for a certain amount of time (maybe forever, if it works out that way) but to consider them half of EVERYTHING you are, is crazy.

Your partner does not make you. You make you. And that is something to be proud of. You are both your better half and your worst half. The point of having them both is to balance yourself out. If you can't think of anything you'd consider, "your good half" to such an extent that you have to find it in someone else that doesn't object to being an entire HALF of who you are as a person versus encouraging you to find that pre-existing better half in yourself, I'd be very worried for you and their well-beings.



On another note, I've watched less than two hours worth of Avatar: The Last Airbender and I'm already in love with APPA!!! That flying bison just flew right into my heart and settled its 10 ton furry body right in the center. He is the greatest and I want him in my life. NEVERMIND THAT HE HAS AN EXTRA SET OF LEGS THAT INITIALLY CREEPED ME OUT. The point is that he is adorable as shit and I love him.

And while we're on the topic of wanting things, I'll take Zuko as well.
