that no matter how much I may love cake, cake does not love me.

Teddybear · 09-19-2015, 03:30 PM

If u get that feeling something just isn't quite right it ISN'T. Question what is being told to you if you feel something is off.

Ask questions of potential dates to get to know them.

I seem to be drawn to things or want things that are not good for me.

Now just how fucked up is that? I say a whole lot fucked up! LOL! (may as well laugh about it)

cinnamongrrl · 09-19-2015, 07:02 PM

I have learned to not expect anything from anyone....its far less disappointing

To leave well enough alone but I don't always do that.

I have learned that I should not have expectations of other people and I do mean all other people. I have lost too many relationships with friends, lovers, and family to my expectations.

Now I say what I need and if they can't handle it then they can move on.

RockOn · 12-13-2015, 10:04 AM

Learning I do not HAVE to work myself outside on the weekends so hard until I drop ... I actually took an hour nap last weekend plus did not work until 8 or 9 p.m. either day.

I am hopeful ... I did fairly well yesterday.
We'll see how it goes today.

I have come to realize I am too driven when it comes to getting things accomplished and I set the bar impossibly high.

Learning how to allow myself to relax some on the weekends, take a little break and sit down.

Getting there! (I think)

What you say, is not always what is heard. Communication needs to work, before assumptions are made.

I have learned that my gut is ALWAYS right. I still haven't learned to listen to it all of the time, but I am getting wayyy better at that.

gotoseagrl · 12-13-2015, 12:25 PM

Letting go and getting lost in mindless, nonsensical chatter & laughter to tears at the end of each day makes it possible to get through anything.

You never get what you deserve. You get what you can negotiate. Learn to stack the deck in your favor for the things you want in life.

A lot....and yet...never enough...
