"People think a relationship makes you whole. That it's two 50%'s coming together to make 100%, when it should be two 100%'s coming together to make 200%."
- Jaden Smith
Guys, Disney lied to us. And apparently it takes something as backwards as Jaden Smith's twitter to see the truth. WE ARE COMPLETE PEOPLE.
We aren't puzzle pieces, waiting to find a piece that interlocks with ours to form the big picture. We ARE the big picture. We are whole, we are important, we can exist independent of another person.
Despite what we're shown from a very young age (via Disney Princesses, romantic comedy heroines who are only happy when a man comes along, or through the covers of magazines we see when we're just out trying to buy some cheese,) we can be happy, we can function, we can continue our lives just fine. And when our "prince" comes along, that will be great. But because we have somebody to share our ALREADY FUNCTIONING life with, not because we expect them to fix it.
How unfair is that, to expect our significant other to come along and fix all our problems? They probably have their own to sort out, let alone having yours too.
Basically, you matter. So love yourself, because you deserve to be treated well, most especially by you.
