People say that children who come from broken homes have a warped idea of love. They say that these children unhealthily crave affection, attention and love, trying to compensate for the lack of love at home. I'm sick of this stereotype. My mum raised me with nothing but love, and she also taught me one very important thing. You don't need the love of another to live your life. You love people because sometimes they make your life better or happier. You love them because their quirks and habits make your life so much more interesting, and you love people, just, because. But you are you; your own complete person. You don't need someone else to complete your life.You are complete, all on your own. If you choose to share your complete person with another complete person that you love, that's amazing. Just don't lose yourself because you found somebody. Just because someone comes from a broken home, it doesn't mean that they don't know how to love, or what love is.
