I believe I should digress and say why.

Recently I have had to re evaluate my life and look at it from a different perspective. What makes me happy? What do I like? How do I fulfill my needs alone without my spouse to help me? Why am I not happy without her? What does it take to make me smile? Why do I always depend on others to keep me going? Why do I feel like the world is crumbling around me?

Hence the list.

I really need to snap out of it. I have tried to depend on her for support and love and for my general happiness during a rough time and that was wrong. She and I have been best friends for seven years and she made me realize how much more there was to life and she still teaches me. Recently I learned that my needs are way out of whack and that I needed to find other means of happiness and fulfillment to help me through my rough patches. I will do my best.
