So true so many people run on auto pilot even to the point of saying gawd bless u when anyone sneezes
The first step is the hardest.
I was fortunate enough to have a daughter who never hesitated to question everything. She made me rethink a lot.
@Byrdsfan Lucky you! My son was never as bold, and while my daughter didn't challenge me often; when she did, she prepared a bibliography to support her arguments.
Well, yeah. I have written quite a few times about how since becomign "single" the last time, I decided to look at the things I didn't like about myself, and the area where I didnt' live up to my own expectations, and slowly change those one by one. The theory, is as I changed I'd like myself better and be happier. Beign happier, I'd seem more attractive to others.
As it turned out, as I grew to like myself more, I no longer felt th need to have someone in my life to "complete me", as I already felt complete. My life still coudl be enhanced by a relationship0 with th eright person, but I am already happy and dont' feel a need to be a relationship to be happy.
