My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

hm,

and not to sound trite, but I will consider myself on the next level when I can meet my own needs without "needing" someone else. wanting is okay, needing not so much ok. and I'm pretty close.

God, not trite at all. I agree completely. Am learning to - and that I can and should - meet my own needs.
I'll be ready for another R when I'm convinced I don't need another R.

Though some "unmet needs" do require another person

well, this is true!! but often it just isn't worth all the trouble it entails. (but not always....)
