You complete the picture

I recently realised that I need you to function. Without you, life is bland. Leaving you behind was stupid. And I finally figured out that you are a requirement in order for me to function. You complete my picture. You make every thing right. Without you, my life is stupid. My life is a pointless existence. You are my other half. I love you in a way a friend should. You understand me completely. You can finish my sentences and I can finish yours. And I'm scared, because I currently like the picture I have painted. I currently like where I'm at. I don't want anything to change. And I'm not ready to leave school at the end of the year. I'm not ready for life. I don't want to change my painting. Simply because everything fits and you were the missing bit that made it a masterpiece.

Selfishness

Once, I blogged about selfishness and selflessness. I did so because of a lesson I learnt. The two words are opposites, but are used incorrectly. As a society we believe that being selfish is one of the worst qualities a person could possess. However, most discoveries and steps forward in humanity are results of selfishness. Being selfish does not always mean being greedy, it means putting your self first, speaking your mind. Whilst if someone is selfless they are letting people walk right over them. If it came down to it, the selfless person would sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the group. They would die because that's what others want and expect from them. They might not be happy about it but they would do it. If it came down to it, the selfish person might not let others walk right over them but they would be happy to die for you. Being selfish does not make you a horrible person. It does not mean that you have no heart or soul. It does not mean that you do not care.

So essentially, my message is this. Don't let others walk over you. Stand up for yourself sometimes. Because, you're important too. You're no less important than anyone else on this planet.
