and the words you left me linger on

I was once told by an ex that I didn't love him as much as a prior love because I wouldn't go the extra mile for him.  While ultimately, he may have had a valid point, now that I think back on it knowing my ideas on love have significantly changed-- at the time, it was irrelevant to my reasoning.  In retrospect, it wasn't that I loved him any less, it was simply that I loved myself more than the both of them.

Loving someone is the hardest thing in the world in my opinion. You give so much of yourself on trust that you'll get the same back. Everyone is still trying to figure it out.
Aw I agree with Rachel... and this post goes along great with my new painting that I posted. *wink* I've learned after ex and after ex that I love myself more and until I find the person that loves ME the same way, then I can love them. Love is love and everyone has their own thoughts about it. Honestly- it makes me dizzy and want to puke...hahaha! I do know that, I LOVE your posts!!!
there's nothing wrong with loving yourself more... you are living YOUR life :). thanks for stopping by my site deirdre. i hardly ever post and when i do, you ALWAYS visit. i appreciate that. i just post now for the heck of blogging; i dont expect readers. so, i see that your results for that quiz sound much more appealing than mine!
yeah i guess i could agree with my test results. i am picky!!
this is such a beautiful post. =) short but says a lot..
I don't know why dogs don't like rain. I think it is because they aren't used to anything like a shower. Lexi doesn't like water (like most dogs?). My brother got out an umbrella to walk her to the front of the house to urinate and even then she was not to be dissuaded! It wasn't the fact that she wasn't going to get wet because there's an umbrella, it was the presence of rain. She is sooo spoiled. I was the one who walked her a second time because then it became an emergency, lol. A lot of girls don't pay attention to nail polish. I remember in middle school I used to paint my nails most of the time, but then the four years throughout high school I never even touched them. I only became obsessed with collecting them now because I had two friends teach me how to do a self french pedicure. But anyway, I understand what you mean, Deirdre. My little sister (I have three siblings!) doesn't like her nails painted although she loves the colors. I'm always making her let me paint her nails because I have so many and nobody uses them. Actually, if you get some really good nail polish, they don't chip for a week EVEN if you wash dishes manually. I know that -- I wash dishes by hand every time because my mom despises the dishwasher, AND I swim in the pool for hours. :)
I had a similar situation once. I told her "if you really loved me as much as your ex, you wouldn't make me have sex with you." :P
I can't even imagine saying that to someone else. Making a comment like that reveals such an insecurity that my own vanity would stop me from making a fool of myself.
