My Lessons -

Learning to say no to lovely gents, and potential dates. To be honest enough with myself to know that I need to be alone. To reacquaint with my single self, contentment in going on solo adventures. Realising it is better to be alone, than lonely with someone. To be brave enough to acknowledge the fact that you are trying to find happiness within, not with another.

To know that failures happen, and that it is more than ok should relationships and commitments fail. That I do not need to be the perfect woman, or the perfect SO. Be who you need to be. There is no shame in failing, disappointments happen.

What lessons to be had and learned this September.

Honesty is the best policy, and to hold your tongue only when it really matters. Politeness is wasted on people who don't deserve it.

Hit everyone with the hardcore truth, it's the only way we're gonna get out of this retarded Age of Butthurt Political Correctness.

1. Pride comes before fall. Direct your ego towards positivity and self fulfillment and not competition.

2. Leave the past in the past.

3. Vulnerability is a strength.

4. Be honest with what you want and not what you think will get you to win.

I am happy that you are gaining more wisdom from your experiences ๐Ÿ™‚

You are dealing with things well, lady ๐Ÿ‘

That is so kind of you to say so @AneemA04. Although the truth is, the healing process is far uglier than what I share on here. However, at least I do try to write about some of the positives and the negatives. Both sides of the journey to recovery.

In the least, so others who are going through heartache as well could hopefully learn something, or gather strength from my own experiences. If sharing my lessons, could help another man or woman, get through what they are going through right now. Then, that would make me happy.

People are far too often afraid to embrace their human aspects, trying to put up a facade when faced with pain. I still get those dreadful lows, moments of longing, and wishing to reach out to him but I do not. Being defensive about our own flaws makes it harder to heal. Though showing others that it is ok to fall, and to fail. Perhaps, even if a bit idealistic, that it will help others.

Hopefully, you won't delete this thread, so I can remind you of your former self, several weeks (or will it be days?) ago...

You are reminding me of exactly why I love / hate the Goat placements in my Goat heavy Water Bearer. ๐Ÿ˜†

Is there no other sign you would love to pester ?

It is unlike you @Gobby to stick to one sun sign or user to dangle and play with. Why, I am breaking a record here. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

@Gobby, in fact you are even more faithful that my followers.

Ever since my return, you have followed me unto every thread that I have created. I never knew Goats to be that obsessive, but I suppose that is the charm of a Stinger woman. You could not resist, I see. ๐Ÿ˜†

You're the one starting all the threads, which is very rare for you. Besides, there's not much else to comment on here ATM.

And, no, you haven't broken the record. Far from it...

Why, have you been stalking me ? ๐Ÿ˜†

I am sure there is plenty more fun for you to be had in all those other threads being refreshed on the front page. Surely there must be something to distract you, especially if I had not broken the record. Go find that record holder, and pester him / her.

Whatever makes you happy.

You really have the home page to thank for my attention...

Oh what would I do without your attention, dear @Gobby.

The answer - a bloody hell of a whole lot. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Though it was sweet and kind of you, you should be flattered that I keep you from boredom with my threads. ๐Ÿ˜†

I can choose myself even when my emotions are screaming & I just want them to stop.

Distraction just postpones the inevitable & possibly makes more problems

There is a reason for everything

Itโ€™s okay to think about yourself in a selfish way. Cuz no one else is going to take care of you.

Self care is how you take your power back.

No truer words said, and the realisation of those things is powerful.

RooSagicorn, I am really glad that you are taking your life back into your own hands. ๐Ÿ™‚

@Black-Mamba - Is your Leo Moon available for rent ? ๐Ÿ˜†

Yes sure. 4.99 $ an hour

My Leo moon is keeping me single-superficial thing

Normally I would negotiate, but if it is as effective as all that.

Then I will take it, for an hour.

Cannot have you making a successful business out of this.

That is what DXP armchair therapists are for. ๐Ÿ˜†

Time. We always assume that things are going to take longer than they take yet when we don't do them and years have gone by, you look back and think, well why didn't i do this in that time, and just complete it.

that's how i feel about not pursuing my masters in Physician Assistant, Psychology, or an MBA

its just a few years and you tell yourself, i can't suffer through 2-3 years of this, getting the requirements

and you find that you already have wasted 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, 15 years

time...manage it well or it will manage you

Is that a lesson or a regret ?

To not give up, but consider redirecting efforts. That sometimes things don't go as planned because it may not be a part of your intended path at large.

Also I used to think and believe that Love meant accepting people for who they are. Their imperfections etc. Second chances.

Not the case.

Everyone deserves the best of everyone.

The 1st TIME.

Whether it be your crush, your boss, a stranger..

Everyone deserves the best, the 1st time.

I have 100% control of what I feed my mind, body, soul.

Spend your time wisely.

Watching exactly what I watch on social media or TV has a huge impact on my psyche.

Food has an effect.

People have an effect.

I used to not care bout what I watched or listened 2 but I changed my viewing and listening diet and it has made a huge difference.

That maybe itโ€™s me.

I have issues with men and people in general. I have no friends or family and Iโ€™m alone. I meet people who have no respect for me and itโ€™s getting worse now that I know what I will or wonโ€™t deal with. I have to heal the part of me that attracts these type of people. Iโ€™m learning how to heal and not just avoiding people and isolating myself only to repeat the same mistakes.

German "dating" culture is differs significantly from the majority of the world.

In what way?

In general I'd say it seems to be a lot more down to earth, with less expectations or definitions.

Two people just spend some time together or talk and if it feels good it progresses and keeps progressing or will meet it's ending point.

Sounds more straightforward

I wonder who invented the complicated dating scene......the USA maybe?

So you're saying letting go could be disruptive to your happiness? Like if you don't really wanna let go but you try to anyway?

When I let go I remind myself that it's not about me and because I love that person, despite the initial difficulty, I eventually feel happy

Is there ever an "external reason" you as a scorpio moon would abandon a connection? External mining not directly related to someone's character. Or things out of their control. Your friends not liking him, you mother not liking him, he's aging badly but keeping it as in shape as possible, his job is forcing him to relocate to another city and he's asking you to come with him? LEt's say he developed a disease and couldn't function as adventurously as he used to--

I've learnt that truthfully I can't do everything by myself and even if my body can't feel it it does and will shutdown if I work for days on end with no rest to the point it almost became fatal.

I've learnt that my daughter has taken after me so bless her soul, I didn't want to be me so big yikes there lmao.

That also having really long hair suits me but a pain in the arse to maintain.
