After a couple of long phone conversations with a friend, a few things that were said during those conversations made me realize something.

In all the relationships I have been in, I simply settled for what I thought I ' deserved ' at the time.

The problem with that is, as I see it, this.

Everything I have gone through in my past relationships has done absolutely nothing to help me understand how to actually GET what I feel that I deserve at this point in my life. I know I deserve better than what I have gotten in the past.

But I have absolutely no clue how to attain it.

Basically, I figured out that being here is doing nothing more than killing time.

Maybe I'm the only one that feels like this....but maybe not.

Anyone else?


Well, if I weren't killing time here...I would be killing...err...erhm, well, really shouldn't have placed those periods after that word...uhh, I like ponies?


you can't kill ponies, they're too cute.:tongue:

Meh. At least they are looking. LOL


but its not the right people looking!!! unless they perv me in stealth? that could be it. maybe the lovelies are on my profile right now staring and thinking dirty thoughts...but they're in stealth mode.sad


That very well could be....lol


now i'm swearing. picture me swearing. yet being immensely tickled at the same time. gawd, i'm such a girl.

anyway, since we're offtopic i think most people settle in life, for most things, otherwise you can end up with nothing. which can suck.


Ahh yes, but it sucks less than settling and being unhappy. Trust me--I married someone I settled for and stayed for 11 years. As much as I'd love to have someone in my life right now, I still have to remind myself I'm better off this way than unhappily married.

true. i didn't mean settling for a person, i meant settling for certain things, like one job over another, for example. yeah, settling for a person is just dumb.flowerforyou

G'morning sunshine. Killing time here is probably better than the alternative. You'll know how to attain it when you find her. You are pretty astute that way.


Perhaps. But then, I really don't know.

It's the ' not knowing ' that is kinda irritating. lol

No one , absolutely no one in this world "Deserves" anything

Anything you want you work and plan to get it.

If you can't think that way, for ever and a day you will remain what you are

It may sound harsh but that is the reality

You may wish to listen to philosopher Allan Watts



pffft, i deserve my cup of coffee, so there:tongue: laugh

You either make it in the kitchen or you go to a shop to get it either way you have to work for the coffee before you sit down to enjoy it
any way twinkle your eyes and a buffoon may buy you a cup. In which case he would have had to work for that. Meanwhile we can discuss this further at a Starbucks. I am prepared to work for mine

Very true. It can definitely suck. But the thing is, having dealt with what I have, I pretty much refuse to settle for less than I deserve. I've been there and I know I am worth more than that.

But, I am also realistic. I know that no one is perfect. I doubt there is even " perfect for me ". I am just too scattered in what I like and don't like. I think perfect for me is nothing more than someone who can accept the fact that we aren't going to see everything the same way.


I am sooooo right there with ya, JAG flowers

Yeah, I find it constructive, too. Ironically enough, not in the way I had originally anticipated; but in many other ways....

I'm not sure what constitutes "tinkering."

I know there are those who preach the idea of making your profile as attractive and palatable as possible so as to be more appealing to the readers.

But I think there's a huge difference between an editorial brush-up and a massive reconstruction resulting in a disingenuous facade.

My attitude has always been: If you like my profile, fine. If not, that's OK, too. It isn't going to change anything either way, and it's not worth my time to make up a bunch of fictional drivel just to get some girl I'm never going to meet anyway to send me an e-mail or two.

It is what it is. I update it sometimes. But I'm not going to try to skew it to cater to anybody....

I understand that. I am pretty much the same way.

I'm just a little curious as to what he, or anyone else, sees as far as what could be " better ".
