Brief Moments of Insanity

If you would've seen me four months ago... going into work... hair uncombed in a hat... 15 lbs lost... dark clothes, baggy.... miserable.... you would've never imagined where I'd be right now. You may have predicted I'd be another 15 lbs down, floating around in my clothes and moping around the house and the office. Thanks to my family, friends and my anger (rather than my broken heart), I was able to push through and move on. Granted, that disaster of whatever it was that took place over 4 months (and technically 23 years),  was not enough for me to continue to mourn a friendship lost... but it is what it is. I've met new people, reconnected with some old friends that I've missed so much and I've been enjoying as much of my life as possible without going broke (yet).  I've even gone on a few dates here and there. It's funny what time can do. However, a shadow of what occurred a couple of months ago still remains.  And I am still skeptical an

I've been seeing and hearing a lot of complaints from dudes stating that women, such as myself, want a "nice guy" but we treat them like shit.  I can clearly see why that seems that way, but I beg to differ.  I don't think that "nice guys" are always treated like shit.  Sure, there are some crappy women out there that just don't know how to treat other humans in general, and in the process end up hurting a "nice guy" in the process who probably didn't deserve the treatment.  Happens all the time and it works BOTH ways.

"Nice guys" finish last because they are needy, pushy, thirsty, annoying, etc. Here it is, you are probably a GREAT catch!!! Don't get me wrong. Good job, a bright future ahead, handsome, healthy, of a decent age, B

I woke up today thinking about how unrealistic people are. How ridiculous their expectations of others are.... And then I thought about the reasons for our absurd expectations. This is what I came up with... Basically, I don't care what anyone says, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that you expect nothing from anyone, you do.  Especially when that someone is filling your head with empty promises on a daily or nearly basis.  The moment they tell you they want "more" and they continue on with this theme, then you're going to start believing and expecting "more." With that said.... Why can't people just keep it 100% real with one another? What is it you fear losing by telling people the truth? I don't mean overexposing yourself. You don't need to tell me who you were with last night, where and what time voluntarily. What I mean is, say what you mean and mean what you say. If you are interested in someone for merely just
