I don't care who you are. It's nice to be wanted. Some might say it
doesn't matter but I don't buy it. We go places and play roles daily and
it's nice to think we bring something to the table. But sometimes just thinking you're bringing something to the table isn't as good as actually hearing it. From work, home life, or social circles we want to be wanted. I'll even go further and say it's nice to be told. It may be a subtle affirmation regarding the work we do or the effort we put into something. A pat on the back from a coworker who notices the box of doughnuts you picked up for the morning meeting. If you're a mother or housewife it may be as simple as someone in the home verbally acknowledging the clean sheets or socks. Or as a lover, your mate telling you how important your love truly means. Regardless, we want to be wanted.
Me personally, it's been a long time since I've received the pat, the acknowledgment, or the I love you. But sometimes in life you have to be humbled or starved, just a bit, so you can truly appreciate the small things that we all take for granted. My humbling has me taking a new look at things. On my second take in life, I will notice that person who wakes up early to do something nice, I will roll in my sheets a minute longer with great appreciation, and love a little deeper.
Being humbled and starved is the theory or philosophy you'll have to tell or sell yourself if you find yourself all alone. I tell you this, so you might, take a minute to do those things now and not wait for a second take like me. It's like a great novel. You only want to read about the man stranded on the island - you don't want to be the man stranded on the island! Just my thoughts.
