Damaged goods?????

You are grieving and when you grieve its really hard to put on a "happy face" and be with people when all you wanna do is cry and crawl into a ball and cover your head.

Do what you have to do.........then and only then can you put the effort into a relationship!

sometimes i buy dented cans because they are cheaper but the green beans on the inside are still a tasty treat. :)

i hope that helped.

okay. you gotta look at it this way.... you're growing up and experiencing more and sometimes its painful. but you're not necesarily damaged. i'm not damaged because my dad died. i'm just lacking one parent.

but it did make me stronger.. i grew up more independant. learned to have to do things for myself. and maybe its time you do the same.

i'm sorry about your mom. i know how it feels.

but you're not damaged. you're just mourning.

I feel like I'm able to give a relationship as much (or as restrained) an effort as I need to. But people don't seem interested in the guy who's hurting, and when there's million of other guys out there, why would they want the trouble?

I don't want to make this into a big woe-is-me session, but I think my big problem is that all I want in my life right now is someone to love, spoil and nurture and who wants to do the same. Someone who wants life to be fun. Partly because my friends and family haven't been the support system I need, but also because that's what I've wanted this whole time.

You would be damaged goods if you didn't mourn
Feel the pain you are supposed to feel so that the memories can shine bright for the rest of your life.
Time will heal and you will be a better man for it.
