To the ones who...

Y'all, dating sucks. Like for real. It's a game these days and I don't have time for games. But I've gotten some pretty good laughs out of it for the last few years. At the end of 2013, I had my heart completely broken. I'm talking the kind of broken that it was "broken and then he picked it back up and smashed it again broken." I could have sworn that it was it for me, but honestly I've grown a lot from that and have realized what I want and I won't settle for anything less.

So here's my thoughts on everything...

To the ones who text me at 3 am claiming they miss me or want to know how I'm doing. First of all, I'm asleep. I don't miss you then and I don't miss you ever. I'm not doing well, because I'm pissed off that you just woke me up at 3 am to say "hey." Get out of my inbox with that nonsense. I liked college and had fun staying up late, but I don't have time for that shit now; I'm too old for that. Boy, bye.

To the ones who left because well, your ex...I'm just going to say good luck. You'll need it.

To the ones who told me I wasn't good enough. Something along the lines of "of all the great things about you, you don't measure up..." Good. I didn't need you anyway. No matter how good of a woman I am, I'll never be good enough for a "man" that isn't ready. You have no clue what you just walked out on. You'll figure it out though and it will be too late. Ask the next guy...

To the ones who were a part of my life at one point and aren't anymore. There's a reason for that. Please don't come back around. You should be texting your girlfriend, not me. *eye roll*

To the ones who I wasn't ready for. I'm sorry. I had a lot to figure out about me and I had to take the time to do that. I'm sorry the timing was shitty. But you seem happy now and I'm happy for you.

To the one(s) coming I'm strong and independent. I've been on my own for a while now, so I don't expect tons of attention. Attention is nice, don't get me wrong, but I don't like being smothered. I don't need someone to take care of me, but it would be nice to share this crazy life with. You must like dogs, especially mine. She's a little crazy, but what female isn't?

My daddy has set the bar high and it will be tough to find the one that reaches it, but I'm pretty sure there's a plan. Everything else has worked out and this will too. I'm strong, educated and independent; maybe that's too much for some guys, but for the right guy it'll be perfect. And until I find him, I'm going to keep on doing what I do best and that's loving myself and making myself happy.
