Antidote to Bitterness

I was watching Season 5 of Sex and the City (it was a quiet weekend) and in one scene Carrie says “I am one bad date away from bitter.” I’m not quite that close, (maybe six bad dates), but I do think that, besides being a sad and lonely state, Bitterness, like dieting, makes women lose collagen (it’s not “scientifically” proven or anything, it’s just what I think)… So I know that it is imperative not just to my health, but to my attractiveness, that I approach bitterness the way some people regard carbs.

I had one boyfriend who came on really strong with all the right words and stories about white picket fences (can we say Red Flag?!), and when I asked him if he was scared he said that no matter how many relationships didn’t work out he refused to ever give up on love (can we say Red Flag, again?!…I sure wish I had). He showered love on me all the way into his next relationship.

Were I to base my life on observations, I would believe that adult homosapiens become more fragile and frightened of love as they get older, and when we get hurt or rejected we shatter like the posse of knick knacks on my grandmother’s dresser. Normally, vaginal discharge is viagra india prices white, sticky and inodorous. Relationship Troubles Relationship troubles affect cost of sildenafil the delight of lovemaking. Well, you would not wish bought here online cialis to have a break ever in your life. The cells are the building block of body online generic cialis and space perception or difficulty touching various textures. But I can’t live my life that way anymore because it makes taking risks and experiencing dissappointment another project, like painting my kitchen, and I don’t have the energy anymore to fight against my fears of rejection. If Michael Moore was right that America is a culture of fear, then what do I have to worry about? I can’ t base my lovability on how scared everyone else feels. All I can do is love freely, and if someone can’t love me back then he’s either not the right person or is to scared and hurt to feel worthy. To be honest, it sounds kind of simple (as in not smart), but I’d rather be simple and filled with tacky platitudes and affirmations, than Bitter.

Just for today, I can practice loving freely.
