Too Picky???

I was talking with two of my friends the other day and our conversation eventually led to the topic of men/relationships (what else is new). We were sharing our bad relationship history and how our exes consisted of either manipulative douche-bags, clingy psychos or dirty cheaters. 
Now, why is it that we always go for the freaks and losers?? Good question. We can never just date a normal, decent, loving, respectful, selfless guy, no, these types of guys are 'boring' in our book. Mr. Wrongs always seem to be more interesting and exciting, at least in the beginning. I mean, there are plenty of other reasons why we do date them, I could write an essay.
But you know what? I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to deal with these kinds of men. I don't want to deal with anymore heartaches because quite frankly my heart can't bare to go through that kind of torture again. Which is why I've learned to keep my heart in its cage. The key will stay with me until I find someone who meets my standards. Is that too picky?? Maybe. But I'd rather be picky than settle. No more settling. I've learned to respect myself and if a man won't respect me the way I do, I'm sorry but he doesn't deserve me, he can go kiss his own reflection. Now I'm not saying he has to be perfect, that's mediocre, we don't live in a fantasy world. I just don't want another psycho in my life.
In a way, I'm glad I did date these guys, because they've taught me many lessons. I've learned a lot about men, what to expect from them, which qualities and attributes I like, what I dislike. They've enlightened me and I'm grateful for that. And now I know what I want and trust that God has a Mr. Right in store for me. I just gotta wait on Him. His timing is always perfect. 
So for all you ladies that are currently with a less-than-great guy just because you're comfortable with him or feel like you won't find anyone better despite him treating you like crap...dump his buttox. You are sooo much better than that. Please, don't ever underestimate your value.
Much love, Lissa.

Hunger Games

Firstly............happy new year!
So I started reading the book that's been getting the most hype lately, the one that everyone's bickering about.......The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Really excited, it's apparently a reaaally good read. In fact, they've turned it into a movie which should be released in theatres sometime in March.
I realize it's been for forevers that I haven't blogged but you see becoming a full-time employee has robbed me of my free time and if I do have the time I'm either tired or preoccupied with other events and activities. I'm on holidays now so I have the time off and I'm enjoying it to the fullest. I'll do my best to blog more often =) I do miss it. 
Well that's all I gotta say for now. 'Till next blog, Lissa.
