I don’t know if I’ve ever felt complete, but it’s one of my greatest wishes. Do people who feel complete not have time to stop and realize it? Maybe.. I am a teacher and I love what I do. I have an apartment that I like – painted and decorated it myself. I am exercising and eating right for the first time, uh, ever…. And I am finishing up my degree. I am content with my life, but I don’t feel complete. Maybe I really want to be with another person and without someone it’s hard to feel complete? Walked by a pet store about two weeks ago and there were these two kittens playing with each other – jumping and scratching, etc… The thing is there were these poles in the window they could climb on and baskets where they could just sit and enjoy – something cats like to do and they chose to play with each other. So, I was thinking that even a kitten needs somebody alive. I don’t know if that’s what makes us feel complete. And I am not talking about friendship either. I have people I can go to the movies with or to the beach, or have lunch, etc… But I can also do these things alone and not mind. It’s when I come home that I feel the desire to cook and take care of somebody – maybe it’s my upbringing? And I realize that there isn’t anybody to take care of. Maybe when we feel useful, we feel complete? Or is it just me?

This is a hard thing to answer. .
I believe everyone has yearn to be complete or a whole as I put it. It is different for everyone as well as I think there are different stages of completeness.
For example, I know that I felt that I was lacking something, a loss of something until I had a personal relationship with Jesus. The aching need within was filled by God, yet I still have a void in my life.
The completeness that many people yearn for is the missing half of the whole of themselves – a soul mate, a spouse of their hearts. This is the hardest one to fill because only you as a person know the needs of your heart and soul. I pray to God regularly about filling those needs that I am lacking because I need them in my life in order to feel complete. I am not certain how other people deal with the deep ache in their souls. I assume a lot of people fill it with other things that take away feeling of emptiness, rather then find out why they feel uncomplete and work toward finding the missing piece.
You must look within yourself to find those things that make you feel complete. For example regarding myself, I love to take care of people and I am very affectionate as well as enjoys affection so therefore the man that steps into that major role in my life, must understand that I am affection as well as he must fill the desire for affection in me. The desire to take care of someone, could be fullfilled by being a wife as well as being a mother to any children I might have or my husband might bring into the marriage.
I hope this helps you a little bit on finding your desire to feel complete.
Good luck with this goal.
