well, i thought i would ask the masses, on craigslist of course, about what “better” was and the theory of “deserving better”, how i have yet to find it, i didn’t think anyone would respond seeing as i posted anonymously, but I got a few interesting answers.
“i say that sometimes… it’s out there, i found it once I’ll find it again, and so will you”
“here.
I’m not saying I’m “better” (it is hard to know not knowing who you are and what you want). But it could be me or some other guy who will write you back. Perhaps you should ask for someone more specific.”
“i’ve often pondered the same thing.”
“Kindness, respect, humor”
“I’m looking for “better” also….let me know when you find it
“
“I know what you mean, after years of putting myself out there and giving freely and unconditionally, and as always, when someone gets something for free they don’t value it. So now I say I deserve better, and no one gets near me unless they’ve earned my trust and heart. It’s like the old saying, if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, it’s time to change how you do things. Best of luck, and keep YOUR needs above all else.”
“Everyone deserves to be treated right and love the person they’re with. Better is an attainable alternative to what you have where you’re at in life”
Thank you fellow web world.. for these answers. nice to know, that maybe I’m not as lonely as I think I am. I really broke down last night, fell apart at the seams, just when you feel like you’ve got everything figured out.. everything falls apart. I miss him, and I hate it. I wish I could be like everyone else, but I can’t lie, He stole my heart, and I can’t tell you if this is “better” or worse. Because I don’t want better, I want him. Just him. I hate how how people tell me things, and how i doubt and analyze everything, and I can’t just get up and ask him.. especially now, your miles and miles away..i don’t know if you’ll email, you didn’t even call to say goodbye. i know we’ve said goodbye more than hello, but i wanted it so badly. please don’t forget about me babe, society might find me “better” but better will always be you.
i love you.
