Your words resonate with me like no ones business. The post you made about being lovable in the beginning, yes, gosh-darn I was! I was a truly HAPPY single woman. I wanted to find love, yes, but I was fine on my own. MOre than fine. I loved my life, friends, job, and condo. I was complete.
Giving up many of those aspects has made me lose myself a bit. Now i just have to figure out how to get back to that point, without going back to 'downtown socialite, party girl'.
I will check out the post your refer to in B.F'ings thread. I am trying to read every single thing I can with gusto to give me a new perspective on this.
Thank you again, not just for me, but for all the people you take the time to help on this board.
