Kenny

I agree with you. At the moment, I am married to my career and my friends. I am loving them like lovers. It is a strange thing. I don't really feel love sick because I give and receive love from a multitude of people. I feel profoundly blessed.

LL

I have been out of a relationship for almost two years now and as Kenny said, I have definitely found myself growing more and more and more (especially since meeting the Leo late August) I finally feel free and completely stripped of other people's expectations of me. I am free to define myself my way. It has been a freeing AND surprising journey.

When I was younger, I was always afraid of possibility. I was afraid to dive into all the ways I could be so I hid in relationships. I refer to this as the female escape route.

I sincerely don't think I would have been happy and found the right person for me had I not taken this time to heal and rediscover/reinvent myself. I feel profoundly blessed to have had this time.

Now that I know myself better and what I want/where I am going, I feel I can attract the right person *for* me.

I have also learned a host of tools that I was able to learn in my past relationships. Some of them very significant and will make my next relationship solid and better.

I will always be grateful to the Leo for the blessings he gave me.

Very true, being single definitely gives you the time to find yourself. I change tremendously while I was single for two years. Concentrated on "me" totally. Worked on my weaknesses and inspired my stregnths to shine through more. I am not perfect, but I like the person I have become, much more than the person I used to be. Life is easier for me now and my whole outlook on life, people and relationships have changed completely. It also gave me the opportunit to be available for the great man who is in my life now... I love you LP.

I agree, b/c I haven't been in a relationship in going on 6 years now... I've dated, but not to the point where we were commited to each other... I've had plenty of time while singe to get an idea of who I really am, and while just dating, I've gotten a better idea of who I am and what I want while in a relationship, Ive seen my weaknesses and patterns, strengths and what I can handle...
One thing that I've learned about myself is that I have to careful not to lose myself in a relationship I'm very vulnerable to that for some reason... I can get so caught up in the other person and if I'm not receiving in equal amounts I become miserable... When commited to someone I give a lot of myself... but I think I can balance that out now that I understand myself more.

My focus this entire year has been on my singleness...and how much it sucks. Yeah, i have enough interest, but i just cant seem/dont seem to be getting anywhere with depth. Itry damned hard not to dwell on it, but the more i try, the worse it gets!! Its like saying "im on a diet", and then eating 3 packets of crisps.

It must be me, there?s no other explanation, and God forbid, i dont want to start becoming desperate..im only 24.
