If you want it, come and get it.

There are over a billion people in the world, and over three million of those people in the United States alone. So how can one person matter so much? How can one person have the power to make or break your day. How can that one person be able to shred your heart with a single harsh word, or a lack of a text. Or that make and fake a plan.

I find it interesting, the people to people dynamics in the world. How much we depend on one another, and the gratification we can get from having some sort of relationship with someone. Not a legit significant other, lets date and be committed relationship, but even friendships, acquaintanceship, etc.The want to have someone there overwhelms us completely at times.

Part of it is animal instinct. That roll of your gut that takes your common sense away from you. It switches your life so fast, you never even realized you went from everyday run of the mill Emily, to Emily who knows what she wants. That goes more along with significant others, but I've had it happen with friends before. Lots of times.

The other part? I'd say is how we've been raised. People are put under stigmatization  for being alone; for refusing to make that commitment So what he isn't everything you've ever dreamed of? It's better him then to be what you want, which would be alone.It's better friends to be flaky slut then to be the kid that eats lunch in the bathroom by herself. No one wants to be friends with the crazy chick. Just saying.

So with these three million people, how do you know? When do you know? How do you decide to let go and not care anymore. To let fate sweep you off your feet to the places where everything's sunshine and you can have friends because you want and you don't feel obligated to do it so you don't become an outcast? When do you value your you time more than your us time.

When do you give in to the fact that with three billion people in the world, you won't ever be alone?
