Life has a pattern for everyone. A pattern of ups and downs. Sometimes one lasts a bit longer than the other, but if not for one, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate the other. We wouldn’t be able to appreciate the ones we love and who love us in return.

I’ve been told by friends, therapists, boyfriends, myself, you name it, that I’m codependent. This is always looked at as a bad thing. A thing that needs to be fixed. It’s something I’ve written about in this very blog not so long ago. But what I’ve come to learn in my current situation is that codependency isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, with the right person it’s the most beautiful state of being.

Sometimes things fall into your path at certain times, they seem like a wonderful coincidence. But these things, these moments, these experiences are not coincidences at all. They’re given to us as a gift. They answer a question, they fill a void, they reassure.

They’re exactly what we need in those unique moments.
