My mother doesn't understand the concept of "I'm yours." She thinks that you shouldn't belong to someone in a relationship. I get that, but I would rather have someone who calls me theirs than not have anyone at all. I was thinking about it and what it means to be 'someone's'. It's not necessarily that they own you, but it's the reassurance that you're all theirs and they're all yours. no one else's. I get where she's coming from, but she doesn't see it the way I do. All I want is for someone to say I'm theirs and to be able to call someone mine. not in an 'I own you' way but in a way where I know that no matter what, I don't need to be worried about their love for me. My mom had a tough life, and maybe that's why she is the way she is. Human. With a little more toughness on the outside. She is an amazing person, a feminist through and through. I just wish she understood that you can be someone's without it being suffocating. That that's what love is. The thing I wish I had.
