"I want to know what love is...."

See, It isn't just me LOL
I tell you what, others too
are tired of waiting for
love to come my way.
Ugghhh!

Okay, whatever, so the love of my
life may be an idiot?!?
The story of my life.
Ho Hum!

Okay, seriously, when is it
going to be my turn to fall in love,
to be adored, to be loved in return,
to be with a man who keeps me safe.
 
Hell, I am not getting any younger.
I don't want perfect, I want real.

 Yes, I know I am a chaotic mess most days.
I am wild at heart, anxious with life, overly sensitive,
feisty, independent, perfectly imperfect, heavily flawed, 
and yet even with my emotional issues,
I know that there has got to be a man 
out there somewhere that can handle me,
love me unconditionally,
be my partner in crime, be
my best friend, and keep me safe.

No matter what,
 I do promise

For whatever that's worth
 
  SIGH....

Old fashioned, me? Who knew!

/


Being lonely truly sucks but should 
I be looking for love right now?
My living situation sucks 
(still living with my ex).
I still have no car.
I am still reeling from this 
last depressive episode.
But I guess whether my 
life sucks or not, there
is no time like the
present to start searching 
for love again besides
I have a feeling it might take
a while in this day and age.

So here I am looking for love
in all the wrong places.
Places, like online dating sites,
where all a man wants to
do is talk about sex and
send me explicit pictures
of their sex organs.

Ugghhh! All I can do is 
shake my head and 
laugh out loud 
at how stupid some 
men can be.
Don't get me wrong, 
I like sex too but come
on guys, how hard is it to get
to know someone before
you ask them if they like to do
certain sex acts and to ask to see 
pictures of my breasts?
And no I am not here on this
Earth today to fulfill your 
sexual needs; there is
porn for that.

I most be old fashioned.
I have always been an
open-minded woman, 
but it seems traditional
love is too difficult
to obtain now days.
What does traditional 
mean to me, you wonder.
Well you know when you
meet someone and you talk
for hours getting to know
 one another, then meet for
dinner or for a drink to 
find out if there is any
kind of chemistry 
between one another. 

Maybe I am just a hopeless 
romantic, but I am beginning 
to wonder if the love I want and 
deserve is ever going to find me.
Does it even exist anymore?
Well, I am not a quitter so
I won't give up looking for love.
I just want to know what 
love is before I die.
Time is ticking.

I maybe right afterall; love may take a while 
to find but I am not going to settle.
So I guess I will crawl back on my couch
(my ex pays rent so I get the couch) 
and call it a day.

Tomorrow is another day.
Another day to put myself out there.
I am ready to give and receive love.
That is all I can do for now.
Patience will not come easily 
but hope will be there for me 
in the long run.

Wish me luck in love, the dating pool
seems to be getting more stupid by the day.   post signature

I Choose Me, Finally




I made my choice. I finally choose me.
I embrace all the beautiful, chaotic mess that is me.
I choose to be my fabulous self.
I love and accept myself just the way I am.
No one can take away the love I have for myself.
I choose to be glorious!

It is FREE to join.  
This is an awesome opportunity to take a stand 
for the power of self-love and become a part of something big. 
Won't you Become a Love Ambassador Now and join TEAM LOVE!


As a member of the Self-Love
Revolution, I promise to promote self-love 
by being a Love Ambassador and
spreading love to others.

and

"Love Ambassadors are women, girls or men who practice filling themselves up with love in many forms – self-care, self-compassion, self-worth, self-expression, etc – and help share the message and daring practices of self-love with their communities, tribes, families and more."
"You believe in the power of love and you want to be part of sharing the message of love in all of its forms to the world – especially self-love – in a way that inspires people into action. You are in for – in your own unique way – reclaiming the definition of self-love and making loving ourselves a tangible, every day reality for every woman, man and child."--Christine Arylo
Join the Self-Love Revolution!

Madly in love with me's MISSION IS TO RECLAIM SELF-LOVE FOR EVERY WOMAN AND GIRL ON THIS PLANET, SO THAT SHE MAY KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE DEEPLY LOVED, STARTING WITH THE LOVE SHE HAS FOR HERSELF.

To be Glorious
(a self-love poem)
Today, I choose myself
I choose to be the Queen of my own domain.
To name myself as the one who governs my life.
I shall not wait for the approval of others.
I will act on my own behalf and inner knowing.
I choose to listen to this great heart within me.
To honor what it wants, needs and longs for.
I shall no longer allow the sacred parts of myself
to feel worthless, fragmented and isolated.
I choose to take up space in this Universe.
To inhabit this vessel of self, which is my holy temple.
I shall not keep my gifts hidden any longer
or allow fear to keep me from my greatness.
I choose to be as wonderful as I truly am.
To explore just who I might be, after all these years.
I shall not judge myself for where I have not
journeyed yet, or the ways I have been untrue.
I choose to forgive myself and release the old stories
to make space for new stories, legends even, to emerge.
I shall not forsake my dreamings and visionings or allow 
others ideas to crowd my own. I will think my own thoughts.
I choose to fall in love with who I am, as I am, right now.
To embrace the messy and the marvelous within me.
I shall not diminish my light, one day longer. Hear me now.
I release the shadows. Open hands. Open heart. Whoosh.
I choose to see myself, and to be seen by you, too.
To find you and dance with you and let you know I see you.
I choose to see myself as whole, holy, worthy and wildly me.
And Oh! So much more than enough. I choose to be outrageous!
Being glorious is not a default. It is a choice. Hear me now.
Are you ready for this? I am. Today, I choose myself.
I choose to be glorious!

The A Ha! Moments of a Sad, :Lonely Blogger

'



1.  Actually finding the right quote that explains simply yet 
 exactly how you feel in the darkness 
in the depths of your soul.




2.  And then having the feeling of pure excitement set in 
and out blurts "Hey, I have to blog this."
Now that is Blog Love!

3.  Finally after a year of blogging, 
it  hit me that I still have my very own blog.
I can still actually post and blog about whatever I felt like.
I had really found my voice and it wanted to write.
**Freedom**




4.  I am now so delighted that I finally found a hobby that
 I actually enjoy so much that I stuck with it this long.
Blogging has definitely filled a void in my life. 
It has given me confidence to succeed at something.
It is all good, I got this!!



5. Lastly but gratefully, I have found a lot of totally cool, 
very awesome bloggers and blogs. The blogging process and all that goes with it keeps me very busy and that my friends is a good thing.
