You know what I don't understand? The whole "mine" concept. I'm sitting here listening to Baby Came Home by The Neighbourhood and he says "If you found her, even you would know, she's mine." And like, I don't understand it. She's a person. Not an object. Even songs where girls go "That boy is mine" or "You're mine." No, he's not. No one belongs to anyone. "He is mine and I am his" is what Tris says about Tobias in the Divergent series. No, he's not. Mine/His/Hers is so restrictive. You don't belong to anyone. You don't even belong to your parents, after a certain age. You belong to you.
Another thing I don't get is when people say "He/She completes me." You're not supposed to let someone complete you. You're supposed to complete yourself. You're not supposed to feel incomplete just because you don't have a someone. He's supposed to be an added bonus. He's supposed to be that extra oxygen tank. I don't know what that metaphor was.
I'm saying this now, but I'll probably call my boyfriend "mine" and I'll probably feel like he completes me,when this boyfriend exists. Or not. Probably won't. We'll see.
