When are we complete?

When are we complete? Do you feel the fullness in life now? Or is there something missing in your life?

A close buddy of mine is recently pretty upset. Yes, it's once again BGR that caused emotions to twirl and swirl. Like ice creams, it's pretty awesome to look at a ice cream cone formed nicely but as it melts away, it creates such a mess. The need for tissue to clean up. The need to wash hands to get the sticky feeling off.
Many times, we do not understand why people want to get into a relationship when they are not confident to even behold it for long. The sad part is, when they decide to let go - they become heartless, not even an effort to feel the pain that pierce through the other. Then again, without falling and pain, we may not learn how it feels. Life is just as such isn't it? The pains in life keeps us awake and allows us to be on our toes every now and then. What don't kill you makes you stronger.
We ask also why people we deem to have good qualities to be attached, single for a long time. Not taking interest at all in relationships. Experiences of the past could be one of the very valid reason. Especially when bad experiences remind you of that pain that you have to go through. The number of attempts which proved to be all painful. People do avoid getting into such mess because of the fears and reality bites.
Another friend of mine mentioned this. We are never complete unless we have family, friends and that someone special. Most of the times, the singles will say, "Friends are all we need..."
It's pretty true, however, as life stages go on, friends move on, singles remain where they stop. There and then, the loneliness will slowly creep in like claws of silent nights.

When are we complete? Guess it's up to an individual to define. There are people who can live life and term it complete with family and friends or just with self. We are all different. But for those who are emotionally inclined, when is completion ever a beginning and end? Will being complete equates to the happiness that pillars your world? What makes you complete then?
