I saw Tanner for the first time in two years yesterday.  I needed that.  I didn't realize just how much I missed my best friend.  But after seeing him, and after talkin to him, he helped me realize something that I had failed to see myself in this time that I've been dating Kyle.

I am a fixer.  I've always dated people that were "in need" of something.  People that would walk all over me.  And I'd take it, like a champ.  I would do my best to help fix whatever problems that they had at the time (which I know, isn't the right way to live life).  And once they were "better", they'd be done with me.

But with Kyle, it's different.  He doesn't need fixing.  He isn't draining the life out of me.  With him, it's equal on both parts.  A little give, a little take.  And this, my dear friends, is what I've been searching for my whole life.
