It isnt as terrifying as giving my affection and attention to someone who might break me apart.

Im not going to lie it sucks.

This has definitely happened and I dont regret a minute of my complicated journey.

Its necessary and its definitely still a work in progress.

I have a long way to go but Im okay with it.

Thats the human condition.

The Heartbreaking Truth About Why We Want People We Can Never Have

Blake Lisk

Im grateful that I realized I needed to change.

Unfortunately this hasnt happened.

Yes, Ive made progress.

I can see my mistakes sooner and I try very hard not to repeat them.

Ive gotten so accustomed to my single life that I dont even want to deal with dating.

Every time I tentatively take another chance on it, Im sorely disappointed.

I choose poorly so regularly that I dont trust myself to choose anyone at all.

What I havent figured out is how to stop wanting the wrong guy.

Its not fair to me or to them.

I dont know what to do, so Im not doing anything.

I absolutely hate it.

I know I dont have to be perfect to have love in my life.

I know that Im a wonderful person who deserves to give and receive affection.
