i know you recall a recent conversation about feeling like I had been hit by a "melon-baller" in many respects... I also know that these pieces that I am reclaiming are part of this too...

and yet there is still that romantic girl inside that also wonders and wishes and thinks what could have been....and that brings tears to my eyes. When i think about dating these days, I am struck by how hard it is to MEET people, first of all....and then to have someone even try to understand WHO I am or care seems to be so far flung...because so many people are SOOOO shallow and so many men tend to objectify us... No WONDER I long for someone who already knows me and loves my quirks and can read my moods... because those things don't change all that much in a personality, and I like my personality...but i feel somehow it is obscured when dealing with a 'new' person, because they tend to see your baggage first and hear your story from a different place, more detached....so you don;t want to share your story, because it doesn't define you. But then what DOES?

im rambling, just figgering it out in my own head i guess... thanks for your loving input as always!
