I read this in a profile:

"The only common denominator in all your unhappy relationships is YOU".

This quote has bugged me for days. I decided a long time ago that to make the world a better place was too big for me to tackle and I'm too lazy anyway, so I had to start with me. Does reading it make you reflect on your past relationships and the part you played in why it didn't work?

Well Mahatma Gandhi once said, "If you want to change the world, start with yourself," I don't know if that is relevant to this, but perhaps you can find some use in it.

Ive always been a great believer in personal responsibility, and i take responsibility for the crappy relationships i endured in the past. If it bothered me so much, wth did i stay in them.

I learned quickly that we cant be helped unless we want to help ourselves.

If we r not happy, it is up to US to change them.

Every relationship is an attempt to be happy, if it doesnt work, it doesnt mean it wasnt meant to happen, it merely means it wasnt successful, for watever reason.

Too many ppl blame their exs for breakdowns of relationship, but it doesnt really matter, cos it wasnt meant to be long term anyway.

Better to concentrate on things u CAN change, rather than the things u CANT.

See, that's just a common problem with modern American society. We are always looking for who to blame, and not for a solution to the problem at hand. Blame is never important, it usually is a combination of several people messing up anyway, and it doesn't matter what I'm talking about.

That's why, no matter what, I'm to blame. Sure you guys can use me too. Marriage failed, it's RO's fault. Date went bad, RO's fault. Economy in the toilet, had to be RO. I'm the one responsible for the mess I'm in, I went out with my old girlfriends, my choice. Sure, I didn't choose for them to leave me, but I obviously didn't show them what they were leaving either.

Don't worry about the blame, enjoy the moment and who you are with. Irregardless of whether that lasts a minute or a lifetime, it will always be over too quick.
