Im an affectionate person and all that, and would definitely like to share my life with someone, and have that best friend forever and all that. But at the same time I no longer feel that I must have it, and wont ever be happy until I have it : p
I used to be that way before I came to Christ, though. Was weird now that I think about it : p Thats a big reason why I always suggest to those who let themselves be brought down by this issue to make the Lord their focus, with Him, all the things you feel you need tend to go away : p He has given me a ton of peace : p
Of course it all comes down to them, and whether or not their willing to accept that. But He definitely makes life more simple and peaceful in this regard : p
But yeah, having a best friend would be an awesome blessing, but at the same time if its not the Lord's will, then I accept it : p I have everything I need already.
