This is why I love you, kleinbl00. Thanks for your insight. I think I've been much got the "happy-on-my-own" thing down - at least, I'm feeling pretty content and I'm not actively searching to be in a relationship. I've recently turned an offer of that down, actually. Ecstatic, overjoyed, nah. Maybe some days. But hey, why not shoot for it?
There is a person I want, who isn't good for me, and who I don't think I'll have (bc a combination of factors). But I refuse to settle. If I can't have him, I won't have nobody. So for now, I won't have nobody. But I'm using the time to have me, and all of me, the way I want me. I think this is better. Even if I may be turning down things. I trust if gold really were to show up I wouldn't be able to turn it down, but until that happens, I'm giving everyone a pass.
