Mutual Dependence is better because it means depending on each other, equally.

My husband and I are mutually dependent. We accept full responsibility for one another as synonymous with ourselves, because we are one. We have given each other absolute power over our happiness, and we use that power responsibly and empathetically.

Here I am, sitting at my desk at 3am in the morning, trying to study for my controls exam, and you are sitting (falling asleep?) quietly on the other end of my continuous transmission TSpeak. Honestly, I can’t even focus when you’re quiet. :)

All I’m thinking about is at what point do I ask you why you think I’m sitting here at the other end of TSpeak at 3am in the morning on continuous transmission. At the very least I don’t want you to be naive and believe that I’m being responsible and normal. Because normal 4th year students, 6 years older than you, wouldn’t be doing this, so a good explanation better be available upon request, and I’m trying to come up with one. I wonder if you’ve thought about it (you must have right) and what you’ve wrote it off as.

Let’s just write it off as me being kind of dumb and lonely and that I just enjoy your almost? non-judgemental company. I actually feel quite nice and peaceful knowing you’re still on (or maybe it’s just that I’m so goddarn tired :P). And that I know you need at least a dependable adult/friend. I’ll let you figure out where you want me in your life... if my heart can afford it.

“We must learn what the birds already know: Admitting you can’t do it alone, and leaning on those around you is not a weakness — it’s restoration.

So fall back when you need to. Don’t wait until you strain your wings so much that you have to land. As Rilke describes, if you falsify your endurance, you’ll only fall from the sky. And, if you find people that beat with a similar rhythm, keep them close.

I can’t help but wonder… if we valued shameless reliance over solitary perseverance, how much farther could we make it in this great migration?”
