It’s strange —
I used to think I needed you
Like my veins need blood to have purpose.
It took bleeding myself
To realize that I perhaps need you the way a body needs a second set of veins,
Superfluous veins —
It doesn’t.

*** I know. I don’t feel bitchy though. I feel kinda light. I know we all need people but why? Why can’t we want rather than need? I don’t want need. ***

Depends on how you look at it, I suppose. Maybe I am putting someone or multiple people down, but for me, I’m just thinking about NOT NEEDING people… anyone… and the freedom in that. I find the whole sentiment of “needing” someone (unless it is a child needing an adult) codependent. People think need is love. It isn’t. It’s just neediness. Comes from a place of wounding.
Also… the phrase “superfluous veins” popped into my head from some unknown source so I wrote something with it. 👍

Descending into the particular; while their may be superfluous veins there are no superfluous arteries. ( P.S. Not a doctor nor have I ever played one on TV. Just going with and feeling the flow.

Fair enough. I figured that all veins are there for a reason… and arteries even more so…. Thank you!

Like you, I want to be WANTED not needed. And there’s very much a difference.

I prefer my desires to my needs. Eating, drinking, sleeping are needs. Needs of the body. To fuck too. And make love too or not. I don’t know if making love is a need or a want. But I believe that we need to love and to be loved. How to escape this. Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between the need and the want. For some, cultivation is a need for others, it is not. How to know. It is up to everyone to know what falls into one or the other category.
