Important things I learned from past relationships

Great thread topic!

I've actually learned quite a lot from past relationships. One, if I'm attracted to you, you're probably in desperate need of being fixed. lol! *shrugs* Maybe that's not fair but it is a pattern with me.

Alright, let's see...I have learned from past relationships:

That I am incredibly strong and resourceful
That I have a great deal of patience
Being a healer truly is my calling
Love can completely blind me
I deserve better
I see the world differently than others
I could never have stayed as innocent and naive as I was and live
I've got mean left hook (Yeah, I defended myself that night)
My family truly loves me

That last one is the most valuable lesson an ex has ever taught me. That my family, despite the fact they didn't understand me in childhood, would defend me with their lives and actually missed me when I was gone for over 2 years. Up until recently, I thought I was merely tolerated.

I've never had a stronger bond with my friends and family as I do now and I'm grateful for every moment with them. I've learned priorities. I've also learned I'm very much a loan wolf. I've always functioned better out of a relationship than in one. Perhaps some day that will change but for now, I'm very content right where I am.
