i was just thinking...is independence the same as cutting urself off from other ppl...of course not.. tt would b called being a hermit...seclusion..isolation??? but..how can u really b independent if ure still dependent on others to fulfil certain needs??? can one truely b independent? or is no man an island..and no matter how seperated we are as pieces of floating lands, we are still connected by the sea bed?

was toking to my mom on msn just now..she was just asking me some qns and i gave like nice short answers (not being pissy or curt here..but just giving short ans) and she asked if i was alright..i mean..im fine..just didnt feel like haha-ing or hehe-ing or typing a whole load of rubbish for her to read...i mean..im feelin sick and flu-y..and i missed being fussed over by my mom..but..cant show it can i? i mean i noe she cares 4 me and wants me to be well..but ther's nthg she can do being 10,000 miles away...i have to be independent and take care of myself..the best way i noe how...hence came the thought of being independent..how can one truely b independent of others?? w/o 1st cutting themselves off others??
