I Admire Wit and Intelligence

I feel very annoyed lately. I miss having a conversation with someone who exudes wisdom and profound knowledge. Lately, I feel as though I'm exposed to weakness and clingy-ness once again. I don't know why I allow certain things to bother me. There was a reason why or didn't work between us. I wanted to be genuinely needed and wanted, not from desperation. There's been so many times I've questioned my choices and decisions. Sometimes I regret it. Sometimes I don't. Do I like where I am now? I don't know. There's so much untouched territory. A friend of mine says that opposites can truly be attracted with one another, but their values, their morals, their standards all need to be the same. That makes sense to me. Whether it's politics, religion, or the rights of women/men, animals/environment, etc. Those are all things I want to explore in a relationship. I want to feel as though I'm delving into all those territories in my mind. I want to have an intellectual conversation. It's such a turn on when someone is smart and is able to wonder and think. It's great to live in the moment, but it's also great to take your past and your present, and plan and path for your future. Enough of these boys who are weak. Stand up tall and fight!

Negativity is a cancer to your mind! You will become what your thoughts are! Whether you think you can or you can't ...you are correct. Weakness usually is borne by ignorance, and lack of confidence. To find the answers you seek, you must seek wisdom from books, and learn from thousands of years of human behavior. Your friend gave you good advice, but I would add, in order to nurture a long lasting relationship that is rewarding and supportive, make certain your partner is supportive and understanding of your ideas and beliefs. A closed mind has no room for expansion. I am currently reading The Happiness Hypothesis. It is a combination of ancient and modern wisdom concerning human behavior and understandings of the complexities of "Why" we do what we do. Surprisingly I obtain a huge amount of insight from reading Autobiographies, such as Napoleon, Genghis Khan, etc. Their strategies are derived from human reaction to the battles, and techniques used to conquer and obtain. People do what people do, and it has been that way for 10,000 years.

When PM is available here, I would like to give you a name of someone that you can follow, and see what he does to help women be the leaders that they are!

Stay strong!
