The One That Got Away… December 26, 2008

That’s me!  I should coin a term for it or something…it would describe the girl who goes for a guy possibly a little underdoggish and sees the potential! (go ahead…laugh)

Somehow the same pattern repeats and repeats and yet I don’t learn.  I cannot tell you how many times I have been “the one that got away” in the end of so many relationships. I guess its what the Bible calls unequally yolked.  I believe in someone and see the potential, they are excited at the new feeling of confidence I bring to their mediocre sense of self and life and we grow together. Except…there come that point.  That point when they realize this is hard work and I don’t want this anymore…yes it is all for a good cause but…nah.

A few months/years whatever go by and I get my title…”the one that got away.”  All of the sudden I was the best thing that ever happened to them and how they were so stupid to let me go…??!!!  What???  Seriously…major copout.

So when is it going to be time to meet the person who does think I am worth it to make a sacrifice, to step up, to not have to let me go before they realize what they had?

Thank you for listening to my ramblings and rants. Just gotta get it out every now and then….I’m not even altogether sure it makes sense!
