Whether you are married or have lived with someone for a time, look upon that person and know that, as much as you may love that individual, he or she is not your better half. Yes, this popular term of this endearment can be a warm, comforting notion that speaks to intimacy and trust. but these people you care about so deeply aren't half of you at all. They do not fill in your blanks. You have no blanks. You are whole within yourself.
