Rambling mind


Is it not a part of human nature to be wanted,needed,and cared about? Meaning all areas of ones life, such as mom/dad=, friend=friend,lover=lover,and so on. One doesnt want to walk around feeling as though they are only wanted,needed,and cared about by their . A person needs more. Or do they?
Is it a need or just a want?

It's nice to be loved by others, but the only real love you need is your child. Kind of like it's nice to have champagne, but water is what you need to live.

It's like you are standing on a subway platform and the love of others is the the people in the windows of the cars as the pass. Some stay visible longer than others, but they all eventually move on. Your child is standing next to you on the platform and will always be there with you.

i don't have children; i say you do need more. there is something missing. i say the need to touch and to be touched are equally important. i love to touch, i want to be a giver. I truly enjoy the feeling of her soft skin floating beneath my fingers. her scent and her reactions. i enjoy these just as much if not more than the enjoyment from being touched, caresses, and pleased. I also enjoy communicating my enjoyment and pleasures back to her. there is definitely a need to be touched, loved, pleased, all the above.

this is barely one category. i also consider the mental stimiuation on multiple levels. i like to be teased, but also want to be informed. i love to know how things work and why what is how for that thing-a-ma-jig-doo-hicky. You know what i mean.

This is why I have different friends. Not one person, nor should one person ever be expected to fill all these categories. I cherish all the people who my my life complete. Mentally and physically.

I don't want to be needed. I need to be wanted.

Some people have closed off the parts of themselves that needs to be needed or wanted. They normally go through life bitter as far as I have seen.

Others go through life feeling like they don't deserve to be wanted or needed, due to people messing with them mentally and or physically for so long. They are eternally depressed, yet may never know it as they have accepted their fate. Ive known so many wonderful people who, if they would give the chance, take the risk, could have been happy beyond their wildest imaginations, who tossed it away because they felt they don't deserve it.

Still others take only the needs of the flesh into account and consider themselves needed if it is supplied in abundance. Ignoring the need and want to hear and be heard, to be stimulated mentally as well.

The truly fortunate are the ones that need to be needed, but also need to be wanted. I consider that normal, however that need must be tempered with wisdom, because for your needs to truly be fulfilled, you must find your match who needs and wants as well. Once both of you are on the same page, supplying the needs and wants of each other, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished or overcome. Then you find happiness.

So what happens when the one person you think is it changes? What happens to that needed feeling? I still believe that it is better to loved and lost then never to have loved at all...Thanks for the thoughts
