Lessons in Life and Love

Falling in love was always such a foreign concept to me. Having an absent father and probably a few daddy issues for a long time, I never really had or knew love from the male orientation. I would always gravitate towards men who simply weren’t right for me in mind and spirit or who, let’s face it, were complete scum bags. It took a lot of soul searching to realize I was making these mistakes. Yes, I was making the choice to date these types of men and let them into my life. It was a choice and it always was. At the time, I didn’t realize it and I kept asking myself the damming questions of life like, "Why me?? Why am I being treated like this?? What did I do to deserve this?? Why can’t I just fall in love, get married and have a happy family?" The truth is I did nothing to deserve it, but I did need some cold hard lessons to wake me up.
