As what Ann said in the comments... Sometimes looking at my own blog makes me emo too.

I question myself.

In many relationships, we usually see that there's always a party more dependent on the other. That person would also be the one that needs the other more than vice versa. And would usually be the one hurt should the relationship comes to an end.

As such, some of my friends decided to brace themselves up, and never to become that more dependent party of the relationship. They call themselves independent, and always tell me that I shouldn't be over-dependent to him.

Even himself asked me to be independent too. He needs space for himself.

Independence no doubt is good.
Being over-dependent is not healthy too.

But, is LOVE supposed to be a bond between 2 independent parties that can simply move on? Or should the 2 parties be equally dependent on each other?

I heard a true story from my friend. He once had a pair of lovebirds. They were a couple, and happily in love. One day the male lovebird passed away. From then on, the female lovebird stopped her daily share of cheerful singing. She began to cry a very heart-wrenching moan and refused to eat. My friend did all he could to help her, including buying another male lovebird and even setting her free. But nothing worked. Less than a week later, the female lovebird passed away too.

Is this what love is supposed to be? A balance of dependence on each other? Neither a party being overly-reliant on the other, nor 2 parties being too independent.

I believe so.

Your silence hurts me more than sonic booms...
