someone to Thanksgiving. Will I be attending their family’s Thanksgiving instead of mine? Will they like my family? Will my family like them? Will they even live in Texarkana? Will they judge me for eating every single thing in sight? They better not! I would be a fool if I dared to act like I am the only person in the world who struggles with these thoughts. It is part of the shared human experience to want to find someone to love. We all want to be acknowledged, held, supported, deeply known, and deeply loved. I want to wholeheartedly love someone’s personality, achievements, pitfalls, insecurities, fears, likes, dislikes, opinions, family, and dreams. Everything. I want to love someone as they are, not the dress-up doll, dream Disney cartoon character version of who I want them to be. To me, loving and being loved is one of the most profound experiences we will have in this lifetime. Finding my person is something I rarely talk about to anyone because my world does not revolve around having a person. I have loved and have been loved throughout my life. I have a great family, a solid support system, bosses at work who look out for me and want to see me grow, and friends who care so much they will hide the bottle from me to keep me from drinking away the feelings I want so desperately to cover up instead of leaning into and feeling—that is the only way to heal after all. I need to learn about myself as a person, what I even like or dislike, and have so much more searching inside of myself before selfishly sacrificing that precious time looking for someone else to love me. We are all plenty capable of loving ourselves. We possess all the tools. And HEY, at least there is still Thanksgiving turkey with or without a significant other by our sides. For now, I will keep my RSVP for one; I have come to really like that one, and I believe he likes me, too!
