Ode to Narcissism

Lesson:

Who you date or have dated is not who you are.

Why do people still not get this?

It is a part of who you are, or who you will become, but it is not everything that you are.  If you make someone, anyone, I don’t care how in love you are, so important that you are not YOU without them, then you have no idea who you are.  And that’s just sad.

I understand heartbreak - don’t get me wrong.  I’ve been the fucking saddest of the sad.  But I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and LIVED.  And yes, I still think about that person (or maybe even those people) from time to time, and I still get down occasionally, but I know that the core of who I am remains with me, and I am, ultimately, in the end, myself - and that is enough for me.
