I can remember a long time ago the most profound understanding a girl ever had of me was when she commented on how much she knew I needed reassurance. It was true. I would get in my own head about things and I needed her to pull me out. Eventually...

There is something almost poetic about you post well done!

@Greyjedi Thank you very much! Almost poetic is actually a compliment I haven’t received before, but it’s one I won’t forget. Poetry is writing with the most love put into it. If I can emulate that with just my regular writing, I feel that’s something special.

a very powerful story and well taken. you are absolutely right. you recognized your demon and that it was not working for you.
sometimes i feel insignificant and unloved. I work on that all the time because it comes out in my actions. none of us are perfect...we are a work in progress.

@akindheart I think most of us have struggled with feeling insignificant and unloved before. I know I certainly have at least. The problem with me was that I wanted a very specific kind of love and I didn’t appreciate any other kinds. I eventually realized that even if I had gotten that love it wouldn’t make me happy. That was when I focused on making my own love. I’m not sure where you are in your journey, but I hope you can do the same.

@Reject that is very wise...to know it, acknowledge it and correct it. i felt unloved and if someone showed me love, i needed the attention. i had to prove i was worthy of it. i am kind of at peace with the fact now.

For every choice, there is a something we give up. Sometimes, it’s not such a big sacrifice, but other times, the choice would call us to look into who we are and what it important to us. That is when we make sense of the situation we find ourselves in. That is when we find meaning of the situation in our lives.

I have loved and lost, too. What I lost were the possibilities for the future, but not the love and memories. They will remain with me for as long as I see them as contributing to the person I’ve become.

@CookieCrumbs Yes! Memories… you know when we lose something, it’s not because of the newly found absence in the world around us. It’s because of the presence that endures in our hearts. It is in this way that everything in life may come to an end, but to ourselves? Nothing ever has to. Letting go doesn’t mean going without. It means going within.

Asking a woman for reassurance is the fastest way to have her lose respect for you .
