Everyone isn't ready

My experience begs the question of readiness. I was speaking with my sister, and a friend of hers, and I was taken by how much we put out into the man/woman relationship dynamic, and how much is mis-interpreted or just ends up being screwy. For me though,I am minding my own business, and now focusing on enjoying building my best self. The right person will come into my life in good time. I have been so lucky. I have known love so well. I know real from fake. If someone likes you, they call....they ACT on liking you. They make the effort. In fact, what effort? They want to give of themself. it is that simple. There is no need for excuses, half truths and challenges. That does not exist when real feelings are in play. Real love does not feel that lying, false representation, fear of the others opinion and doubt have to be in the mix, so you cannot be yourself. Corinthians is correct about love. I have no reason to second guess myself when I do not feel something that I am supposed to feel. I cannot feel something that just is not there. I really like that I am finally hearing myself again. There was a time when I was so bereft, so forlorn that I felt that it was impossible to even peel back one thin layer of who I had become to please and pas sift others. I remember that I had been reading some magazine and a question came up and I could not answer how I really felt or wanted. It was as though I had a big physical block...and I certainly did at the time. I could recite the things that I arbitrarily wrote as lists. But real questions like what do I need to be happy right now? Now that sort of thing seemed hard to answer. It took time to get that out of me. I compromised so much.Now I know that I have grown tremendously.
