Enter then into the picture the adage that you can only change (or control) one person, that being yourself. And sometimes, when you start thinking of what is "wrong with me" it becomes a self-defeating thing then too because unless there really is something "wrong" with a person, then what is there to change? Acceptance of one's self, warts and all, is sometimes a really long, hard step to take. Took me many years before I came to that conclusion -not that it still doesn't hurt at times as I think of past relationships -one in particular -that I really wanted to work but didn't, that I had to accept it was, in the end, that he couldn't accept me as I am, for who and what I am. Very good post, very comprehending of many aspects of life.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218017137310902714.post-84422663789468040532008-02-20T00:06:00.000-05:002008-02-20T00:06:00.000-05:00If only we didn't have to be so emotional about re...If only we didn't have to be so emotional about relationships, but then I guess that's what makes the relationship in the first place.

When I can look at it with my brain and not my heart."<BR/> <BR/>The heart always makes thing difficult. It amazes me how something that can bring you such joy can also bring such pain, and at the same time how pointless life would be if the brain controlled all the time.Seven Seashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290358977801525806noreply@blogger.com
