An ephiphany...

So...I was thinking today. What went wrong? It was fun in the beginning. Ooo I know what happened!!! I grew up and he didn't. I graduated from college, got a job, etc. He didn't. All of that is minor compared to the real reason is *drum roll please* I did not make my standards and requirements clear in the beginning. I never said I want X, Y and Z and you must do A, B, C. I never said that. If a man doesn't know what you want and what you require how is he expected to know. I suppose, I'm part to blame for this.

I also realized that in the past I have settled. Every guy I've ever been in a relationship with liked me first... it was never a mutual attraction. I mean for the most part I eventually liked them, had feelings for them, etc. So I've had this pattern of settling. And I guess I did it just so I can say "At least I have a man!" But at what cost?

I need to learn patience. I need to wait for the man that is meant for me. Who knows when that will be. It could be a matter of weeks, months or years. I will wait... I have to wait. I deserve the best. I just need someone else to realize it too.

It's time to put myself first... If I don't, no one else will.
