If you let yourself be a doormat don't complain that people wipe their feet on you.
A good guy friend of mine once told me "Set your limits... what you need to be happy and what is not acceptable... and stick to it"
How true is that statement! So simple! So why is it difficult!!!!
I know what I want. I can also tell other people what they shouldnt stand for. Like if I see someone going through some bullshit, I'm like "Girl, dont stand for that!!!!" However, that's me being on the outside, looking in.
Why is it so much harder to stop & look withhin? I cant even say its harder to see it, it's just harder to actually accept it, when your the one going through it.
I love to love. I love to nurture. I love peace. The things I'm looking for, from a man, arent hard!! I truly just want someone who thinks of me throughout his day, someone who misses me when I'm away & someone who brightens up when they see me. AND I want him to be able to tell him he is feeling that way!!
You know, not too long ago I told someone, I could be happy living in a small one bedroom apartment with someone I loved. And I could!!! It isnt about what you have, or what you can do for me. It's about how you can touch my mind, body & soul!!!! It's about FEELING me!!! In ways MUCH deeper then a sexual way.
I've recently noticed I tend to hold feelings in. I tend to hold emotions in. I even tend to hold in tears. Why am I doing that? It's happened as I've gotten older. I used to be SO bold.....then with age, I realized you sometimes have to hold back a bit. Sometimes, saying everything your thinking isnt a good thing. You can hurt people doing that. But am I hurting myself now? By holding back too much?? I need to find a happy medium. I just remember my mother once telling me I was brutally honest. Brutally honest sounded so harsh, so I told myself I would hold back.
