Joseph introduced this book by Shel Silverstein called, "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O," to me a while back. Every time I feel powerless or lonely I'm always reminded of this book. He told me that in order to be perfectly happy, you must be happy with yourself. To sum up the book, in mine and Joseph's interpretation, in order to be happy in a relationship, you can't solely rely on your other half to keep you happy. If anything was to go wrong in the relationship resulting in a break up, you don't want to feel like you're now "missing a piece." I certainly wouldn't want to feel lost and feeling like I don't know what to do with myself. Joseph tells me we shouldn't rely on each other to keep ourselves happy, we should be able to (just like the Big O) roll on our own. Joseph shouldn't be my crutch and I shouldn't be his either.
