don't be so hard on yourself we all want to be loved & cared for which means that when it comes to r/ships we often don't have our best rational heads on.
love yourself, respect yourself & don't take any crap from those who would try & put you down...once YOU KNOW what you will & won't accept & what you feel you deserve from men...r/ships & others in general don't waver!! ppl will treat you whether they are consciously aware of it or not pretty much how you treat yourself. YOU deserve to be treated as you want to be treated accept nothing less!!! as for long term r/ships can't help you there (i'm very fickle LOL) BUT one thing i have come to know is that most r/ships fail b/c we put too much expectations on them & the ppl in them. most r/ships are meant to fail (sorry thats not meant to sound so neg!!) what i mean is...most of our r/ships are temporary as are those partners...just here for that specific time in our lives...if all r/ships worked out they wouldn't be so special would they?? just trying each other on/seeing how we fit etc. problems arise when we try to make that person THE ONE with every new r/ship!! (that probably made more sense in my head than when typed out!!)
anyhoo.......
i prescribe a daily dose of positive affirmations for both you & yourself
I Accept
my Uniqueness
There is no competition and no comparison, for we are all different and meant to be that way.
I am special and wonderful.
I love myself.
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
Being yourself is celebrating you, as an individual - learning to express yourself and be happy with who you are. For some people, it's learning to love yourself, for others, it's not hiding who you are or changing things about you to fit in. remember YOU are the star of your own life!!! how cool is that??
know, understand, and accept yourself. Work on accepting mistakes and choices you've made; they're done and in the past, move on/begin again & again...& again if need be...& eventually YOU will find SOMEBODY WORTHY OF YOU i promise!!!
