This is kind of random, but I have been thinking a lot about "being independent" lately. It seems to me like there is this really fine line between being to independent and not independent enough. Oddly enough over the past 5 years or so, I think I have been both time and time again. I am dependent on my family, but want to be independent and do my own thing. I am independent in owning my own home and having a job, but really when I am all alone in these things I wish there was someone who depended on me. That is the nice thing about work, is you can be dependable, reliable and people like it. They depend on you to be independent and do your own thing (within parameters of course). So, summer is always a difficult transition for me, to not really have anyone depending on me for anything, so then, I think I get more dependent!? weird?!
Anyway, there are my thoughts, for what they are worth! Are you independent or dependent or both?!

What a thought provoking post. I am definitely both. My need (perhaps my want) for independence rarely dwindles but I find that when I try to become fully independent I don't enjoy life nearly as much. Hmm...
Ok so at first I was think I might be slightly independent because I like things to be a certain way but I think that just means I am bossy! I am most defiantly VERY dependant upon other people for everything! From comfort, validation, money etc I am most defiantly emotionally dependent upon others!
Thanks for letting me depend on you!
