So
I've been pretty much single for the last year and I've learned a few
things about myself and about dating. Since this blog is less
“colourful” than my other one, I thought I would give a G rated
version of what is happening in my life at the current time. I went
back on Ok Cupid and Plenty of fish for research purposes for a novel
I am writing. To say that I've come across novel material would be
an underwhelming statement. I have decided that there is just no way
that I'm going to come across anyone datable on that medium.
Recently I had contact with a girl that I had told in no uncertain
terms months ago to leave me alone. After trying politely but firmly
she wouldn't go away, I had to get down right rude to get my point
across. It's been a hard year for me, but I've learned a few things
with the help from people who are so close they are family instead of
friends. Firstly, I am am an amazing human being. I'm awesome just
the way God made me. I have my flaws and my humanity still, but I am
valued for my unique perspective on things. I am beautiful inside
and out and I shouldn't settle for someone less than I deserve. I
learned that I will cross oceans for people with out hesitation, but
I shouldn't cross them for people who wouldn't step over a puddle for
me. I learned that I shouldn't allow people to degrade me and
belittle me as it wounds me more than it should. I learned that
people who belittle me are often weak individuals and that if they
are removing the speck from my eye they probably have a beam in their
own. These things are hard for me to type because I value humility,
but being humble and selfless doesn't mean that I have to be self
depreciating. I could have had my pick of all sorts of strange
women, but I won't settle for less than I deserve. Sure loneliness
is my long time companion, but I am no more lonely now than I was in
relationships where I was downtrodden. So, I'm not going to walk the
psychopath. I'm not going to attach myself to the first woman that
comes a long. I'm not going to fit myself into a round hole because
I'm a square peg. But I wonder is she out there?
