Weird huh, 'cause I love breaded mushrooms and devil's food cake. Just not canned mushrooms or the standard chocolate cake from store.

Good dialog. Getting to know you...

FYI it's called living together.

But we haven't been living together for 9 years, only dating. We have been living together for 7.5 or so.

Happiness is about a delicate balance of giving and taking, independence and interdependence, holding on and letting go. It doesn't come solely from within oneself, even though the foundation of true happiness must commence from within.

We can pretend all day long that we don't need others and don't care what other people think, but the truth is we all need people in our lives who validate us. We must make sure to seek validation from the right people, though...our loved ones, those we know on a personal, deep level...those who have our best interests at heart. And we must provide the same to them in return.

That doing the same thing and expecting different results is never going to work.

there are two sides to every story...

I have learned no matter how much you put in it won't always make a difference.... That it's okay to say no once in a while.... Text can be easily misread.... That giving a part of me to someone doesn't give them the right to own every part of me... That I am okay being me & if that isn't enough then they're not enough for me... That strength doesn't come from muscles it comes from the mind... If your mind is weak all of you is....

To stay true to Myself. To give my energy, attention and love to those who genuinely care about me and value me as a person and ignore the noise.
