Hmm.

I’m back at MUWCI, and thanks to the recent turn of events, I’ve been thinking about relationships a lot. Maybe the reason people get into relationships in the first place is related to their personal identity. Being in a relationship enhances a sense of identity in both people part of that relationship- basically, it just makes both people feel better and more important about themselves. The pleasure one gets out of being with someone else is due to the fact that the person is given a stronger sense of identity and happiness, which is what that are in search for. When it comes down to it, relationships are purely selfish means to feel happy. The satisfaction one gets from another person providing them with a sense of completion is what allows one to be happy in a relationship. Why do people end relationships? After a point, when one of the people in a relationship is not satisfied, and they are made to feel a lack rather than a fulfillment, they feel the need to pull out of this relationship, in search of something else that would make them feel whole again. Break-ups hurt, because you’re left feeling empty, and the sense of identity that you once had is now gone, leaving you stranded and confused. At some level, I think it’s sad that another person can determine a part of your identity to such a great extent, however, if we didn’t allow people to become a part of us to a certain extent, then wouldn’t we just end us as stone walled loners?

This may seem a bit curt, but I see this happening all the time- it annoys me.
