" Son, listen to your mother well. I may not be around to teach you in the future. Would you like to hear what mother has to say?"
He nodded, once again resting his head on her chest. His smaller frame would have been easy for her to carry were it not for her frail state.
" Kai, a mate is someone who compliments you. As long as you remember that you are complete either way, it should be alright.
The mistake many makes is to believe that they are incomplete. That isn't true. Every person is complete on their own. What we are not is perfect.
On our own, we are imperfect. Our flaws make us feel insufficient and insecure. They make us conscious of ourselves and the fear of judgement makes us do things we wouldn't do otherwise.
Kai, remember, you don't need another to feel complete. Some people stay alone until their day and they are content with their lives. They have goals which they have achieved.
