Love.

We tend to think of being in love as this state of needing someone.

Like your other half .

But what that literally conveys.

Is a degree of emotional dependence.

Love should be known not felt.

You should love yourself enough to not need someone else ,

You should be able to function without the need of anything but food shelter clothes and sleep.

To need someone is emotional dependence .

Knowing you love some one .

Should be knowing you could live with them not without them.
