I keep asking myself I keep thinking I need someone in my life that will be bbeside me and help me when I need it. I dont understand what is so important about love, it always hurts. I realize I guess that I when I read a romance novel, I want to have that life. But in reality, I'm independant and only want friends. Yes, a life like that is great, but some of us cant work with others because we are unique and dont need a shield to protect us when we are already stronger than we think we are.
