Someone who can give you what you need/want. C is just not that person. As hard as it is right now...it will get better. <BR/><BR/>When we set high standards for ourselves, I think it means that there is something else missing in our life. We need to love ourselves before someone else can love us. We need to think why we "need" certain things from people. I know it's hard right now...but love yourself first and love will find you. Find your confidence and confidence will find you. Be true to yourself and someone will be true to you. <BR/><BR/>I say this to you, because I've lived it. I've been the needy girl that needed to be loved to feel any self-worth. Once I realized that only I could give me that, I found the man who is now my husabnd and the father of my child.<BR/><BR/>Life is tough, love is tougher. Be strong and find out who you are take if from there. Love will find you. I promise :)<BR/><BR/>Now...go find that apartment!<BR/><BR/>Love ya seesta<BR/><BR/>EricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959132334086483355.post-28676278593896723312007-10-19T23:18:00.000-04:002007-10-19T23:18:00.000-04:00I love the post.

Really. <BR/><BR/>Every now and then remember to take a step outside of yourself and look at the situation from the outside in. Sometimes when we are so hurt we let emotions get in the way of our logical thinking and reasoning and checking in from outside can help keep you in line. List making really helps this and then pretend that a friend were telling you those things, what would you say? Little things like that might help you recover instead of dwelling on the general douchebaggery of the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959132334086483355.post-88269447826876894322007-10-18T20:22:00.000-04:002007-10-18T20:22:00.000-04:00i love this list. it is so true and isn't it sad t...i love this list. it is so true and isn't it sad that so many of us have had to deal with these things? you have awesome advice for guys...write a book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959132334086483355.post-29574667931762006502007-10-18T16:49:00.000-04:002007-10-18T16:49:00.000-04:00I love it!

And FYI the biggest warning sign about a guy not being that into you is the sex thing. GUYS WANT SEX. ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL. If he doesn't want to have sex with you? He's a) into someone else b) not turned on by you or c) GAY. And I'm being 100 percent serious. There is NO other reason.

Then he got the hint and started buying me pizza pies and met me after class with them so we could share pizza. Or DVDs. None of that romance stuff. I liked that so much better.<BR/><BR/>Keep rocking out doll. You have the support of so many people behind you - if we could, I bet there'd be a huge Michelle dance party right now. <BR/><BR/>Oh!

THAT DOESN'T COUNT. I expect 2 hallmark cards for every holiday. One thats funny with a dog on it, and one ridiculously sappy. (the more doylies the better).<BR/><BR/>And when he does actually get me flowers he has to go to the most expensive ridiculous place ever- which makes me not enjoy them because i'm like.. wow that "gift" could've just done our grocery shopping for 2 weeks but instead i have these european orange calla lillies that are going to die in 6 days.

I mean yes, I do realize the world may in fact COME TO AN END if you don't check espn.com on your blackberry before we go to sleep, jerkoff, but hi? I spent $65 on this shit at Vickie's? Can I get a compliment? A backrub? A goddamn glance for the love of GOD? <BR/><BR/>Also please email me your address. I am going to send you the famous tortious angry women music mix cd for breakups. <BR/><BR/>I also recommend new shoes, girls night out to include lewd dancing and lots of it, indulgent lunches, and dressing up and looking cute - to go to the grocery store if there's nothing else going on. Do it for you, girl. Because you, my dear friend, are worth it.
