I think that while I had realized and was working on it, I only was fully able to hold to it when the one that DOES love me enough without my asking came into the picture, and I realized, OH. This is how it's supposed to be. I'd like to hope that if things change and I find myself on my own again I'd be able to keep this feeling you describe, this knowing that I AM enough. So maybe I'll keep this little entry around to remind myself just in case.Xteenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060764538477233201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-20477984412753128112012-10-18T10:34:59.847-04:002012-10-18T10:34:59.847-04:00Wow, I love this.

"A little, but not enough" was a huge pattern for me, and I hope in my future it can remain a "was". <br /><br /><a href="http://indiexrocks.blogspot.com/?zx=d1f5bb6cb0d24ccb" rel="nofollow">The Indie Byline</a>Sheriden | The Indie Bylinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270154460988218852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-87675263966462736942012-10-18T08:05:05.374-04:002012-10-18T08:05:05.374-04:00i know. oh, how i know.i know. oh, how i know.Emily A.

No man should be lifted up to the level of godly, where you need to prove to him that you are "good enough". You've known guys who are "not good enough" for you, right? Do you think your feelings towards him should lower his self-worth? Absolutely not. Because you know damn well that he's going to turn the corner, and run into the girl who sees him as more than enough.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-85693431358587858392012-10-17T22:48:26.678-04:002012-10-17T22:48:26.678-04:00this broke my heart right in two.

How many of us have asked the wrong question time and time again? Or just accepted insufficient answers? I know I have.<br /><br />Is that society's fault? Is it ours? Or do we all just have to learn through different experiences, at different rates, at different stages of our lives how to ask the right question?<br /><br />I agree with what Jackie was saying above. & I think I'm just finally at the point where I've realized that I deserve that and am worth not settling for less than that. & Meg, I am so glad you're there too. & that through beautiful posts like this one you're inspiring other women to learn to ask the right way and to only accept answers that are worthy of them.<br /><br />Thank you, Meg.L.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02976770670489870460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-24675785760196688162012-10-17T15:27:00.057-04:002012-10-17T15:27:00.057-04:00beautiful meg xbeautiful meg xFrancesca Forzonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802757054087573806noreply@blogger.com
