Companionship

❝She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man.

The pieces I am, she gather them and give them

back to me in the right order. It's good, you know,

when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.❞

- Sixo from Beloved- Toni Morrison

So I know I said that I would wait until the weekend, but I am procrastinating, so I figured I might as well do something worth-while. So, companionship. I read this quote from Beloved, and I fell in love with it. And I realized, this is what I want more than anything in another person. I want a friend of my mind. And I think this is a problem in a lot of relationships today, people don't take the time to really learn some one's mind. Like if you take the time to understand some one, then it should be a lot easier to be with them. Now, I'm not saying that I want to be with some one that I will always be able to know what they are going to do, or vice versa, but I want to understand them. I want them to know me, and for me to know them. Does that mean we have to know everything about each other? Definitely not, but I just want some one who is a friend of my mind. I want some one who wants that. I think that's why I really didn't like those guys who came onto me at the Kum&Go, because they don't want to know me mentally. I just want to feel understood.

I think these expectations are why I think I'll never get married. I don't know if it is at all possible to have a friend of the mind. I hope it is, but I don't know. I think companionship is luck, and the people who find their perfect companion, whether friend, or lover, are luckiest. So, yea. That's how I feel. Now I just got to get out there and find the friend of my mind...or not. I'll probably wait a bit hah.
