as in actively, because of loneliness? trying out something new? Family pressure? love at first sight?
TL;DR: Emotional security me thinks.
Never had anyone in my life I could depend on whilst growing up besides my bestie but I mean we also live separate lives so in the end it can end up still feel like I’m on my own. I’ve come to accept that I can be weak and that it’s okay to lean on someone sometimes. Pretty much didn’t feel like I had a family growing up either, so never liked being home. After moving out and living on my own for a while, I realised how much happiness and peace it gives me to come home to someone who loves and cares for me.
I have lots of love to give too, seemingly bottomless, at the risk of sounding pretentious! I give strangers the benefit of doubt and get burned quite a lot due to that me thinks (just as an individual to another individual, I’m not passing hyatt around like a drink okay, hah!). I’d much rather pour all this love to someone who would pour it back into me too. Someone to have my back, who believes in me and sees the best version of me that I probably never could see in myself.
In return, I do think I can provide extremely good emotional support! I’m very independent so I can hold my own (maybe even theirs) on other aspects in life.
