It’s been a tricky year for me this last year, and as part of marking its end, i’m consciously celebrating the many friendships that have helped get me through.
I’m a firm believer in the commitments made in marriage, and think it is great when we meet someone with whom we want to share our whole life, and hope to grow old with. And yet, I also think we put a whole lot of emphasis on (heterosexual) couplehood that i think can undermine how full our lives are because of the range of people in our lives, rather than being made ‘complete’ by just a Special One.
That’s why i struggle with the phrase “my other half”. I like the sentiment of being made whole by being with someone... and yet how can one person possibly fulfil all our needs, and be everything we feel we are lacking in our life? For me, I’m very glad to have a whole range of wonderful people in my life, each of whom brings their unique qualities that add to the richness of my life.
So Thank you for being my friend :) xx
