I might just be a circle, though...
I think you have to know what you look like first, to know where you belong, and who you belong next to.... Like a puzzle piece. Have you ever done a jigsaw puzzle with the pieces upsidedown? There are only so many different cuts made in a given puzzle, so you're bound to technically fit with more than one on each side. But when you don't know what you are, you might find yourself saying "Oh your ...piece is sky? Yeah I guess my blue part is sky. Oh wait and your piece is water? Yeah my blue part could be water."
And then you learn the difference between the desire to be known, and the desire to be approved of. The desire to be known says "I know exactly what I am, see, this big blue part is the water and that tiny corner of sand goes to the shore, and I want to find the piece that knows they're my shore" The desire to be approved of says "Well, can my blue be sky enough for you?"
The kicker is, the best response you will ever get from being know, is love for exactly who you are. And the best response you can ever hope to get from being approved of, is a "Meh sure. I guess that's good enough."

Nothing's Wrong
Nothing's Wrong
I lie here waiting for you, and I wonder what's wrong with me? And I realize the answer is "Nothing." Nothing is wrong with me. I've been waiting for you my whole life while chasing dragons and riding the wind into endless sunsets. I've been waiting and here I am, pursuing, waiting, wondering, hoping, dreaming, staying calm, and expecting nothing. Nothing in return, nothing in need, nothing to depend on, and accepting everything that might yet be. Living in the present, having faith in a future, and sharing a past whose weight has not buried us. We can rise together, or separate, or not at all. But no matter what, it's ok, because nothing's wrong with me, and nothing's wrong with you.
