It's taken me 20-something years to realize this but now that I have, a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I arrived at FDS hoping to learn more about attracting a good partner only to realize, I don't even need a partner. I'm not quite happy with my life as is yet BUT I'm finally able to envision a life without a partner where I am 100% satisfied. I want my own house. I want great grades. I want a great job when I graduate. I want a dog or two or three. I want to travel locally more. I want to develop my character. I want to be strong. I want to volunteer. These are all things I can work towards achieving that will bring me joy whether or not I'm someone's girlfriend at the time. I can be beautiful for beauty sake and know it without having someone else validate my experience. Who would have thought?

I definitely would love to be in a HAPPY relationship one day but I'm also now learning I can be truly content whether that relationship arrives in my life in 1 week or 1 year or 1 decade.
