Being Whole


What if we are whole the way we are? What if we are never meant to be complete? Or we are complete the way we are? Never needing another soul to complete us?

Wanting something or someone to complete us leads us to longing. Longing leads to loneliness, sorrow and pain, if what we long for is never found, never comes to us, never is ours to be. 

And we continue to live in loneliness and despair, always longing, always hoping, but never getting what our hearts desires, what our soul wants, what our flesh needs.

What if we do find something or someone. But then we bind ourselves in the shackles of our own expectations. And if these expectations aren’t meant to be met, then we buckle under the weight of our own expectations, often leading to disappointment, hurt, resentment, doubt and pain. 

And like a cage it imprisons us never letting us out, never letting us soar, never letting us love, never letting us be happy. Always holding us back, always weighing heavy in our hearts, always sowing the seeds of doubts and pain in our mind, driving us insane.

What if we are whole the way we are. Complete without needing anyone us else to complete us. And if someone should enter they are absorbed, rather than fitted, into our world. Cause we are complete the way we are.

Is there life without longing?
