Living Alone
After watching my roommate's wedding today and spending some time with my angelic girlfriend, I have come home tonight realizing that there is no one else here. For the very first time in my life I am living alone, and I'm not sure exactly how I feel about that. Sometimes I just wonder what makes human beings crave human companionship so much. I'm sure that some would provide a very scientific answer based on hormones and mating instincts and a bunch of other scientific mumbo-jumbo, but I believe that all human beings crave friendship, romance, and most of all, love, because we need other people to be able to learn and grow. I think that the creation of family--whether in dating, courtship, or marriage--presents the ultimate laboratory for human understanding. As we come to know others, we come to know ourselves and to understand our place in humanity. If you don't believe me, just honestly give it a try.
