One pea in a pod.

I'm not only a blob of liquid, I'm also a human being. I need to be nurtured, cared for, and loved by you (altho, I'm prob not referring to you). I can't just be thought about for a few years, then be completely forgotten for a small amount of time then be remembered then be forgotten and the cycle continues. Is that really how it goes? Is that normal? Are you on the same boat as me? Am I alone or do I have company?
