Jesus Christ, love, never let someone define you. Refuse to listen to society’s cry of “your other half is out there somewhere!” No. You are a whole person, one being, you don’t need someone else to complete you. You are a cluster of stardust, you are a child of the universe, you have an entire lifetime to create yourself in exactly the way you want to be. And please, love, make sure that you are not an extension of them, stand on your own two feet before they join you. Because hell is being trapped as an extension of someone else, so do yourself a favor and don’t even go there. Love, you may be falling too hard in the wrong direction, but there’s still time to catch yourself.
