Inspiration
I saw this comment in a friend of mine's journal -
"I've been there. Wasting my time on people who weren't worth it, and taking all the shit I got, just because I was lonely and miserable. Now I have real love in my life, and I can't even begin to tell you how many ways I now appreciate it, having seen the option.."
This inspires me. I tend to have a history in unrequited love. With this kind of history, it is harder for me to have faith in such things. Knowing someone else has been through it and still found true love, that is nice to hear.
Also, my friend eccentric mentioned how a friend said that you have to be happy being single, it attracts people. That is so true. I've already been working on that, I think I am more concerned about the fact that lesbians are hard to find and so how on earth will I attract one? I remember being concerned about that when I started this journal.
Since I started this journal, I've felt a lot less need to "be straight". For awhile I was occasionally seeing straight couples or seeing straight romance movies and wishing that I was straight, because then it would be easier - yeah, some things might be easier, like the affection in public thing, but I've come to know that some straight people have just as much trouble finding a mate as gays. I'd rather just be me than wish I were something else now. It could mean me being single for a long time, or maybe not, who knows.
