Although others can help, no one can fix the broken parts within us except ourselves. It is unfair, unrealistic and unreasonable to expect a change of scenery and/or a romance to cure us. When we acknowledge and accept that we ourselves are ultimately responsible for our own happiness, then we've begun the journey on the road to recovery and fulfillment.
Romance has never been about how much money he spends on or for me. It's always been about that special connection...a look between us that needs no questions, a touch on the arm or back as we walk into a a public place, holding hands. And, as you said, reaching through the thorns to pick a flower. Thoughtfulness trumps money spent.
What a very sad story. I'm pleased for you that you were able to see your daughter, Amorn, but very sad that you had to leave her. I hope that things will change so she can know you and love you as her mothe.
@ LindsyJones: the UK Home News has reported that the video showing Muslims in Paris celebrating the attack is fake. It has seen been proven that the video is that of Pakistanis celebrating a cricket victory during the 20/20 in 2009. You can google UK Home News.
I have absolutely no qualms about expressing my anger against what happened in Paris. The difference is that I understand that this is political, not religious. As I said, Niayana do some research and don't believe everything you hear on Fox News.
I also understand that you cannot change the hearts of bigots. Enjoy your blog.
I agree, Chrome. But then I thought that any dog worth his salt wouldn't leave any traces behind...in fact, it'd leave nothing behind except a clean dish!
Sands, of course, it would be lovely if everyone was good but that's not reality. If someone says in their profile that they're not available, not looking, married, etc, yet they post highly suggestive and flirtatious comments to women, do you not think that there's an element of narcissim in that person? "I don't care, I'll do what I want." Showing sympathy to someone who says they're hurting is just that...sympathy for that instance. The truth usually lies somewhere in between the two stories. Too bad Cog chose not to his side before he was banned.
Personally, Sands, I've had enough of the lectures on narcissism. There is no cure for narcissism. I am very aware of the disfunctions of the narcissist, but it doesn't mean that I have to show the same lack of sympathy, etc. Besides, this is the virtual world and it's much easier to keep people at arm's length.
Molly, I'm not on here often enough to know all the bloggers and, to be honest, I don't check out profiles. I've bantered with him a few times, but not nearly as many times as I have with Sol The whole thing is strange.

Molly. 
Sol, did you tiptoe out backwards? 
RE: Does romance have to have a price tag?
Zman, don't you hate it when that happens.
