Back to “Going Solo”

by

I am a highly independent person. I am very spiritual and do rely on a higher power/G-d, but to most people I am just extremely independent. I know what I want and I go for it. My passion for this job moves me forward. Nothing can stop me from moving forward, but there are some things that can slow me down. I am talking about my recent romantic/whatever you would call it adventure. I was doing just fabulous and then HE came along. I was distracted in a good way. It had been a long time since I really liked everything about a guy. It was tough to find his flaws. Yet, even when I discovered his flaws, I was so into all the things I liked, I didn’t care. My thoughts, though still on my career, went into thoughts about him as well. It was 50-50. I QUICKLY let him into being a part of my life. I got used to it and it became normal for me. Then it ended. Luckily, he wasn’t in my life for long. It has taken me a week to move on. If anything, I became an “extra workaholic” to help distract myself when i was getting used to being alone again. Funny. I’ve been single for such a long time that I never thought of it as being alone. I enjoy myself when I’m alone. … and it doesn’t feel like I am alone because of all the supportive friends and family in my life. But when a boy comes into my life, I forget and depend on him. I’m back to “going solo” now, but how do I stop myself from giving so much of me to a guy so quicklyx10101.jpg?
