But do we? Do we really?
Do we need somebody, or do we need somebodies? Is it too much pressure to have that one somebody who is our person?
Our person to laugh with, cry with; our someone to believe in us, support us, teach us? Can one person meet all those needs?
I say not. I am a person with a whole hell of a lot of somebodies in my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
People often remark that they don't know how I handle having so many recovering women in my life. To start with, I don't handle them.
