ppssst...kalbo...accept it, you not "Bata" anymore...rolling on the floor laughing

I appreciate you, the way you are my friend always!...hug
Always be yourself kd. I've learned the hard way. It wasn't until after my last relationship ended and I looked back on my relationships that I realised my previous partners weren't totally to blame for the break-ups. I had tried to please them and simply hadn't been able to keep on pleasing them. By doing this I attracted the same kind of guy and I had done it out of desperation because I wanted to be loved.If someone loves you it is better that they love you for you and accept you for who and what you are. I may be single but you know what? I'm no longer desperate and sad. I'm happy and content and if that someone special comes into my life he does, if not well I'll still be happy. I've got a great bunch of friends and a lovely family and there are a lot of people in this world without that.teddybear teddybear
Trust gwapa...am " Super bata kalbo gwapo " !!!!!!hahadevil devil cool dancing grin ( but that is for f.b. OR another blog......lmao.....more to the point...must one sacrifice IDENTITY , to be in a relationship..and how much is TOO MUCH. ( even a gwapa brat bata can relate to this...)hehe
Well if you can't be yourself then who can you be ? ? ? .confused . . . Compromise does not mean being something you are not . It just means getting along with someone else . If you have to pretend to be someone or something you are not , then the relationship is doomed from the start . If you do find yourself in the aformentioned situation then best to look for a ( hopefully ) more mature and compatable partner .
Lovely kitten...i lost myself before...attempting to please , when receiving no effort in return...lol , she said the flowers I brought to her work were only to " impress " her co-workers...haha..now I look at MUTUAL AFFECTION , AND A RETURN ON MY SINCERE EFFORTS....I WAS TO BLAME FOR THE FOOTPRINTS LEFT ON ME.....I WAS A RUG...HAHA....NEVER AGAIN...BUT WORRIED I MAY BE OVERKILL NOW....HAHA
Nice frank, but maturity seems to be a relative equation , and good hearts and manners in short supply...lol...
Someone told me never to sacrifice myself in love, never lose my identity. And i am doing that from now on. If a man cannot accept me for who i am, then he is not the right one...I have some flaws too, and for the right one, i will be willing to learn and shine even more...
The right man will find those things you consider " flaws " charming....applause
AAAwwwww, i'll hold on to that idea kd...grin
No such thing as being on/in overkill. It's a lot less effort to be yourself than to pretend to be something you're not. Those who love you will always be there for you and accept you for who and what you are. They are the ones who are worth keeping in your life. The ones who can't accept you for who and what you are aren't worth keeping in your life. For me the best gift a man can give me isn't something that can be bought in the shops---that gift is accepting me complete with my flaws and he will get that same gift back from me.
I don't pretend to be someone I'm not
because I'm too good at being me.

It took me a long me a log time to understand that. But with 11 siblings always smacking me around and 2 wives sometimes wonderful sometimes not put my head into a real grind.

I'm glad I'm not there anymore! I just had to start staying away from those with the negatives thoughts.
Hi Kd….the right person touches you in deep places of the heart because they give of themselves equally. The right person only enhances the good things inside you and brings out the best qualities in you. The relationship isn't destructive but challenges you to grow. So you would never loose your identity but find that you are being appreciated for being you. The right person isn't perfect but understands your weaknesses as you understand theirs. Good luck and I wish for you the best! happy place very happy
Great quotes...great comments...though possible compromises may come up...i yhink you guys are on it!!!applause
