A/N: This is just something that I typed out (with extreme difficulty! On an iPad) that just snowballed into a little story about what Ziva might have thought at one time in her life. Without further ado, I give you,"Companionship or Lack Thereof"!

What is it that drives us to need the presence of others in our lives? Is it the fact that we were created by two? And as a consequence feel the need to look for that other? Or is it the desire to be able to share anything with others? Or is it purely to combat feelings of loneliness and isolation?

My personal thought is that all of these apply to the desire to be in company. Our instincts tell us to start looking for a partner, a confidant, a person that can help shoulder the burdens that we carry, someone that we can reciprocate all of the aforementioned things with. Sometimes we use people that we are associated with just to temporarily abate the feelings of loneliness and the pressing feeling of paranoia. But the feelings never entirely go away.

So, what do we turn to? Some go to reasonable means to combat these feelings, means being: buying a dog, and exercising feelings at gyms. Some go to more extreme methods, these being bullying, further isolation (resulting in awkwardness in social situations and annoyance at others rather that focusing on the faults of self), or by becoming murders of a justified cause.

Should I experiment with more extreme reasons? Or should I just continue moping about?

A/N: Leave a review about what time in her life that this might have been thought/written. If you feel the need you can say something nice! Or point out any errors that I might have committed. Type away my companions!
