Consolation Prizes

I've learn something last week, something rather important for me, and to be honest it was about time for me to realize that but hey better later than never and since it is an important matter I thought that I should tell you all about it. 

It happened to me that in that moment when I was feeling so sad and depressed about my non-existing love life that a guy show up, and yes he seemed to like me a lot and I liked that, not him precisely but to feel appreciated yes... I know it sounds a bit pathetic but hey who hasn't feel like that anyway... don't judge me so fast.

This guy started texting me and it was nice, since he talked about how he liked my curls and stuff and so I answer to his texts and even though I didn't really wanted to meet up with him it happened that I always saw him, close to university, downtown, and it was so weird because even though I like the feeling of being liked well I really didn't like him, and yes he was sweet and everything but also a drug addict, and he didn't work, he was 9 years older than me, he can't keep a job for more than 2 or 3 days, his parents support him, and emotionally he wasn't stable at all and he doesn't know what he wants and the way he approached people it wasn't that nice, it was weird and a bit scary to be honest. 

So with that description being given you can now know that I was incredibly vulnerable and that's how I end up sorta going out with him for like a day and then woke up and realized that I deserved something better, I'm not saying that in a cocky manner, the point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't settle with so little just because you feel you'll never have something better. Maybe what it takes to change your current situation is to change your attitude, trying to be more positive, accept yourself, and just realize that you'll meet someone who will love you whenever the time is right, whenever you're ready for it. If you love yourself then it will be easier for the rest to love you too. 

Just because you haven't won the BIG PRIZE that doesn't mean you have to settle with the crumbs, with lousy consolation prizes. 

Be sure you know how much you're worth and go for the jackpot, that's what you deserve, no less ;)

That's what I've learned that I deserve something better and that I shouldn't settle with less just because there isn't something good at the moment, better to wait that to fall in an eternal abyss.
