"Fulfillment", "Love" & "Need"

The definition of fulfillment is to make full; to meet the requirements of; to bring to an end; to measure up to. The definition of love is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. The definition of need is a necessary duty; a lack of something requisite, desirable or useful; a physiological or psychological requirement for the well being of an organism; a condition requiring supply or relief. Those three words came up in my session today and I am still trying to figure out how my counselor wants me to understand them in a different sense. I have never thought of myself as having "fulfillment" of something because it has always come in the form of satisfying someone else. As a result, I haven't really used that word in relation to me. I don't see how the word "love" comes into play in my life outside the love I may have for my family and my best friend. And the word "need" scares me. I think it scares me more than the word "love." But in any event, of the three definitions, I don't see how those words would appear inviting to anyone. For the entire evening, I have been trying to wrap my brain around whatever concept of those words either she has, or I should have. It was probably the most confusing session I have ever experienced with her. Before I write anything further on this subject, I will think about it some more and sleep on it. I will resume tomorrow....
