I dont get dating if you arent going to be yourself from the beginning, whats the point?

I dont want a person to have a go at impress me.

Be a decent person and know the truth about yourself.

Thats some cowardly shit.

When I make an effort in a relationship, thats not me trying too hard.

Thats me being who I am, someone who likes to give to those I love.

Dont use that fact as a way to excuse you not trying at all.

Maybe thats you being who you are, but thats not going to work for me.

I want someone like me, someone who delights in love.

Someone who cherishes me, who makes sure I feel nurtured and safe and truly accepted.

I cannot find the person who will if you are still standing in my way.

I give too many chances.

Im a sucker for love and the most eternally optimistic cynic youll ever meet.

Im working towards becoming more realistic, grounded, and less afraid of losing people.

Its a long process for someone who is working against years of learned behavior and toxic patterns.

Ive grown weary of gambling with my heart.

Its not fair when you know deep down that youre bound to hurt someone in the end.
