Oh, and another thing.
I have this tendency to talk about how all men suck and how they are dogs and blah blah blah. Sure, my father disappointed me in some great ways. But in relationships I have not been repeatedly disappointed, mostly because I haven't had many. And that's fine... and probably a really good thing.
I think I need to be more positive, or at least silent about men. They are NOT all dogs. There are a FEW good ones in the world. And I intend to be with a very, very, very good one, or not at all.
I'd rather die a virgin, alone, than be with a man that doesn't value me. God knows I have to work hard enough to respect myself... I don't need to have to struggle to get someone else to treat me well.
I deserve better. And there is someone out there who deserves me as much as I deserve them, or I can take care of myself. So no more negativity towards men.

you're back!!!
ReplyDeleteand you're right about respecting yourself and keeping your standards high. there's nothing wrong with it. I've been (technically) abstinent for 10yrs now and I've never felt ashamed of it.
I slept with someone a long time ago and just knew it was a huge mistake I didn't want to repeat. the fact that you haven't made a mistake to regret yet is nothing to scoff at.
men are...well, men. they aren't the same as women and sometimes the things they do naturally make no sense to us in the context of the things WE do naturally. finding a good guy just means finding one who communicates with you, honors the differences between men and women and lets you in completely.
you'll meet him one day. I've met several (who weren't right for me) and they have all made my life better by virtue of teaching me things about myself and love that I never would have known without them. :)
I'm glad you're doing well.
