Dating sucks. But how does a person put aside that feeling of wanting a relationship? And I DO want a relationship, but it's not a super priority like it used to be over 5 years ago. And THAT feels good.

Sure I have a profile up on a few dating sites, but it's so boring, so little involved, so old. Which is why I've asked myself why I have them up if it's nothing more than a mere distraction or the need to feel attractive to someone, somewhere. And that's basically it.

To feel attractive to another human being, that isn't your family, is a craving that we all have at one time felt the need of needing. The problem that so many fall into (including myself) is letting it get the better of how we feel about ourselves and worrying so much about what others think about us, that it stands in the way of being truly beautiful being ourselves. Which, we all are, beautiful, wonderful Women (or men).

You are Beautiful. No matter if you aren't the 'picture perfect' image the magazines show.
You are Worth it.
You are Worth it.
You ARE worth it.

Be comfortable in you, in your own skin.

And if that scares you, take time to find out who you are, what your solid likes and dislikes are, don't please everyone all the time. Focus on you so that you can focus on others fully instead of half being there and the other half wondering about yourself.

Time. It takes time to develop these things. But let me tell you, it's well worth the effort to find yourself, heal from old wounds, and move forward with life in freedom with the knowledge that in a world that is crazy, at least you've got your own peace in knowing who you are and what you want to be.

Life is beautiful!

And so are we!
