Want vs. Need

This year LOVE is the theme.

It encompasses many aspects of my life.  Community, Cooperation, Cohesiveness, Coordination.

I am also Calling in "The One".

Hear my call from far away..

Putting this out there feels very vulnerable.  Like you, as my audience, can see my need.  I feel a sense of shame and powerlessness in my stating my need.  I believe that stems from old childhood wounds of not having my needs validated.

Despite the uncomfortableness of my exposure, I continue.

And how true is my need for a partner?

I don't need material security.  I create my own and have from a very early age.  I don't need companionship.  I have a large circle of friends, support and community to draw upon if I ever feel lonely.  I don't even need a sexual partner as I am always my own best lover.

So where does my need come from?

I want to look into my man's eyes and see my love reflected back to me.  I want him to look in my eyes and see hinself reflected in my love.

Perhaps this more accurately describes what I seek:
 Partnership (I found this at Facebook)
