Couple Syndrome

I am not sure what the link is but there comes a stage in your single life when you are constantly surrounded by couples!  It is like being the only person without a mobile phone at times.  You can't be considered normal if you do not have a partner that is sharing your life.

It is amazing how you are considered normal when you with someone.  I also find that people who are in a couple get a certain confidence to life.  It is like they now relax and give themselves permission to start living.  It also seems like others around them give them a chance to start living.

It is no wonder some of us have this need to be in a couple.  It seems easier for society to accept who we are when you have a live witness and someone validating your existence and life.  It is just amazing how we find it safer to connect with each other when you part of a couple.  All of a sudden you feel like a deeper richer individual and you have the world seeing you as that as well.

This is part where Miranda was assumed to be a lesbian and faked being in a couple to get the attention she believed she deserved whether she was single or not.  She really felt victimised for not having someone and was not happy being looked at as someone freakish or unsafe because she was single.  Probably the whole concept, let wild animals be caged so that we can feel safer to deal with them.  Who cares, the wild animal has not got you on the agenda.  All it wants is freedom to live its life!

I guess for me Couple Syndrome is a reality and in all our lives in some form.  We as humans love connecting and sharing deeply with another.  I have realised that we all are in a couple.  It might just not be in the form you recognise but you are in a couple situation in your life.  So for the single folk, just consider that best friend you do everything with, share your life with, that feeling of connection you get from working with some people at work or the long amounts of time you spend with your family. All forms of connecting with someone other than you and sharing your life experiences.

It boils down to getting experiences that reflect back your joy and your best you to yourself.  Romantic relationships are extremely powerful at letting yourself experience the best of yourself.  I guess that is why we make it such a big deal.  But the essence is all about connection.  Whether you single or in a couple, the ability to connect is there.  Let's be open to connect on more levels than just what we think is normal.

I guess Miranda was willing to try out a chick for that!  hehehehehe  Not sure I would go that far but I do feel that there is room to believe that you are not weird because you are single.  By the fact that you have the ability to connect makes you awesome just the way you are because that means that men out there can experience you.  Now that is something to get excited about!

Mwah!
