How can a person be truly happy unless they fully share themselves with
another person? (The movie "The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel" touches upon that.) Otherwise, you feel empty inside. You
turn to something outside your relationship to try and meet your needs; gaining
only a temporary fix or distraction from your loneliness. Which is perfectly
human though. If you are lucky, and find someone who is your best friend as
well as your sexually compatible lover; there's the opportunity to achieve true
emotional intimacy if you open yourself up totally to one another. Think of the
stability and security in that. Think of the powerful interdependence. And the
personal strength, confidence, and independence each person would gain
individually. Think how healthy that would be! There are fortunate folks who achieve this kind of completeness.
Twin souls do for sure. Well, duh; they share a soul; each person half
of the same soul. Wouldn't this make great fiction? Even though I believe it's
real. But reallllly think about it; how goooood it would feel to be in a
committed relationship with someone you had it ALL with; love, friendship,
trust, respect, great and fulfilling sex, total openness--like almost no secrets--getting
to share all of yourself with---be totally your true self with---allowing your
true natures to flourish. Hey!--It could happen! I'd love to see Don Draper
figure that out so he could finally be happy. ha ha.
Or
Maybe I should be writing
romance novels.
