We all talk about wanting honesty in our profiles and our lives, but really and truly how honest are you with yourself as well as others!?!

"To thine own self be true"

In talking with a near and dear friend tonight, we had kind of a chuckle for ourselves and some gut honesty came out of me that I never expected.

I was talking about my comfortable little apartment and how if I were to get involved and someone were to move in with me...You know what...There's no space in my closet for "his" clothing and I'm not really sure I'd be willing to give up my closet space.

Hmmmmm a little selfish? Maybe....But maybe it's more the fact that I'm content with just me right now at this moment. Maybe I'm not willing to put the effort into a relationship right now because I want to focus on me and get my life on the right track. I know that right now I'm right where I'm supposed to be right here right now at this moment.

Does anyone else have the same gut honesty? Can you admit it?

I guess if you two really wanted to be together you would find a mutally comfortable place or you adjust. The power of love is irreisitable when it is real. For better or worse you find a way.

I'm actually a bit proud of following through with promises to myself.

I am absolutely head over heels for someone right now (not on CS), and she is showing me it's mutual. Everything fits. Do you know how "you JUST KNOW"?

At any rate she is a HS teacher of at risk kids in Wichita, KS. Naturally she has a very personal and vested interest in these kids.

I have always said that if there were even the hint of a possibility at having it all (meaning including a "one true love"), there is NOTHING that would stop me from going to the ends of the earth to make it work.

Luckily it's only from CA to KS and I couldn't be more sure, content, and without hesitation. I'm also very proud that I wasn't all talk because there are SO many obstacles that could be reasons (excuses) to stay.

I AM NOT hesitating. I AM being true to myself.

and a little bonus....Going back to school to get Teaching Certificate.

As long as you are not just judging them but are that way to yourself. On the other hand if it is really important want you want then it is only honorable to be brutally honest. That's not to say that some of your opinions may mellow a bit.

That is exactly what I am saying!..handshake That is the way it is.. If it is real it falls into place and your "both" hellbound to make it work.

lets see, the difference between being lonely and alone? have you ever just found out that no matter what you do you are still single? no matter how hard you try or how many dates you go on, its still ends up the same, u on ur own? even though you have lots of good solid friends you just feel like you have nobody u think u can confide in. no person to share ur time with to experience the joy in life , the every day things that make you what you are who u want to be. you wonder "why? why cant i get that someone for me?" all ur friends are either married or living with people, u know they are there for u if u told them how u feel but u just dont or cant share ur inner most feelings about ur desire to have someone to share ur life , space , heart with.

Well.. being single can be lonely but it also helps you appreciate things that maybe you took for granted or were shortsighted in. I think it is a way in preparing you to realize what you are looking for. Believe me.. you may meet someone who at first you least suspect and then your personalities match. Don't have any expectations and let things happen.

My question to you is....Can you accept that you are exactly where you are supposed to be right at this moment?

My experience has taught me in this particular type of scenario that I needed to work on something about myself and become comfortable with who I was in order to be able to be comfortable with others. Self acceptance first, acceptance of others afterward. wine
