"We All Complete"

This is the message behind "Never Let Me Go", a novel by Kazuo Ishiguro and movie starring Cary Mulligan.

The story focuses on a group of children who are told at a young age the reason they are so special is because they are alive to keep another "match" alive through donations of vital organs. None of them will live past middle age, a short life with very little meaning.
The older they get, rumors swirl of a "deferral" or hold status on donators to be with a person they truly love. But this love must be proven. With a life filled with held-back feelings, Cary's character "Kathy" and her long awaited love "Tom" finally admit that they are in love. They journey to start the process of "deferral" only to find out there is no such thing. The people who created them were never really sure the students were capable of feelings, especially love. They were only created to "complete" or die, serve their purpose as donors and die. But Carey or "Kathy" realizes at the end that no matter the person, donor or match, we all complete/die.

This got me thinking about love and how much of it I really do. Have I been in love? Truthfully, no. I do love my family and friends, but have a loved a man that I've been in a relationship with, no. I did blind a man once with what he thought was me loving him but he never saw the heart and love I have now; so I cannot say that I, as whole being, loved him. My heart has been through many learning experiences and each has brought me a level deeper in my soul to which I can express true and unconditional love. I'm ready for that. I don't want to be one of those people who felt love for someone and never expressed the want to share it with that person.

We all die/complete and this thing called life is too short for us to think that tomorrow will be the day, because it probably won't be. I think about all the people that I have lost lately and it's just a slap to the face. I want to open my heart to that person who is ready to love me. Who knows if I'm even meant to fall in love and get married and that whole process. I've never been open-minded to the possibility of it all. I'm not saying he's right here or that I will even meet him anytime soon, I just know my heart is open to possibility for the first time in ever.
