So its seems;
People often enter relationships to feel complete.
But you're born with all the qualities you need to overcome any challenge - you just need to marshal them.
Losing yourself in your partner's shadow is unhealthy, not just for you but for the relationship.
Indeed, the healthiest relationships are when 2 people walk through life side by side -
each having their own independence but choosing to follow roughly the same path.
So,
BULLshit to all those who lace their relationships with
pink happy marshmallow phrases like, "
I can't live without you," or "
If you leave me, I think I'll just die lah!"
Save those sweet-talk for Barney the Dinosaur :D

Thinking independently doesn't mean rejecting the ideas your parents and teachers taught you. It's about
CHALLENGING those ideas, and making objective judgements based on your own (well-supported) reasons.
I
t's easy to go crazy and do all the things your parents don't want you to do though - pigging out on junk food, staying out late on weeknights, binge-drinking with your mates etc. YOU may think you're showing independence, but eventually , your HAVOC ways will catch up with you - you'll have no $$$, dipping energy levels and school/work performance, binge-drinking can cause serious damage to your body!!!

However, being too fiercely independent can hurt you as much as if you were entirely dependent on others.
HEED THIS: - "Knowing when and where to ask for help/advice IS a sign of strength."
- Don't chicken out lah, just TALK to someone.
- And make sure that someone is a TRUE CLOSE FRIEND

Keep your Independence, keep your Sanity.
