I AM IN A SECURE RELATIONSHIP BUT WHY IS IT SOOO HARD?? I HAVE MET WHAT I THINK IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE OFF A DATING SITE ONLINE. YES I WAS SICK AND TIRED OF MEETING THE SAME GUY AT THE SAME CLUB LOOKING FOR ONE THING. JUST BECAUSE YOU BUY ME A DRINK DOES NOT ME I AM GOING HOME WITH YOU!!! WHERE ARE ALL THE GENTLEMEN??

ANYWAYS SO IT WAS A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP AT FIRST! YES I TRAVELED ALL THE TIME TO SEE HIM, BUT IT WAS EXCITING GOING ON THE PLANE AND ARRIVING TO HIS NECK OF THE WOODS! SO WE DID THAT FOR A FEW MONTHS. THEN HE MOVED TO WHERE I LIVE AND WE GOT AN APARTMENT. YOU DEFF LEARN WHO THAT PERSON REALLY IS ONCE YOU MOVE IN WITH
HIM! OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS MANY UPS AND DOWNS, BUT THAT IS WHAT MAKES OUR BOND STRONGER! HE IS A PRETTY BOY WHO LOVES EVERY INCH OF MY BODY, BUT IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH?? IM NOT REALLY SURE!! WHY IS IT WHEN YOU FINALLY GET YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOR IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL EXACTLY HOW YOU DREAMED IT TO BE!! I AM IN A VERY CONFUSING RELATIONSHIP WITH AN ON-AGAIN OFF-AGAIN SECURE/INSURE GUY!

I AM A VERY CONFIDENT WOMEN THAT INTIMIDATES THE CRAP OUT OF GUYS!! FIRST IT IS VERY HARD TO IMPRESS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP WITH TWIN BROTHERS 11 MONTHS YOUNGER THEN HER!! ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT I WAS A TOMBOY FOR A GOOD PART OF MY LIFE!! I MIGHT BE A CURVY WOMEN, BUT THAT SURE AS HECK DOESN'T MEAN I CAN HIT THAT HOME RUN!!

WHAT IS LOVE?? LOVE IS GETTING EVERYTHING YOU WANT, NEVER WANTING FOR IT, AND GETTING IT ANYWAY!

THIS IS THE FIRST GUY THAT HAS EVER EMBRACED MY CURVY FIGURE! ALL MY LIFE I HAVE GONE AFTER THE GUYS WHO THINK I HAVE A PRETTY FACE BUT TELL ME I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT! I HAVE LEARNED AT A VERY YOUNG AGE THAT ALL MEN ARE DIFFERENT AND LIKE DIFFERENT SHAPES. THERE IS NO ONE PERFECT SIZE WOMEN! BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.

SO LADIES DON'T GET DISCOURAGE WHEN ONE GUY DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY. GET UP, BRUSH YOUR SELF OFF, THROW ON THOSE HEELS, AND CATCH ANOTHER!!

Am I lucky in Love? Yes I am, but before that happened I had to learn a few things first. First I had to learn that I will never allow any man on this earth again to ever validate my worth. The second was that no matter how many times a person told me they loved me for me, did not matter unless I believed it myself. How can anyone truly love me if I don’t love myself first? I had to find again my personal strength. That I am strong, I am beautiful, I am independent, that I deserve to be loved and I will not settle because of my size because I have so much more to give. When I truly believed that everyone on the outside could see my worth. When I could be proud of who I was. I found true love, someone who accepted me for all my beauty and my faults. Isn’t that what true love is unconditional love….. Loving with no conditions
