Him and Her


Her: “I want someone who wants to be with me” Him: “That’s me” Her: “I want someone who needs me” Him: *raises hand* “Here” Her: “I want someone who thinks about me first thing in the morning and last thing before bedtime” Him: “Check and check” Her: “I want someone who will love my kids too” Him: “Yup” Her: “I want someone who can overlook my flaws” Him: “That’s easy” Her: “I want someone who will always make time for me” Him: “You bet. Every day” Her: "I want someone who will make me a priority" Him: "At or near the top always" Her: “I want to be married someday” Him: “Agreed” Her: “Why is it so hard to find someone like this?” Him: *bangs head on wall*

I was able to help a wonderful, smart, kind, and talkative(!) little boy by just being there for him.  I won't go into the circumstances...

Thank you sir, may I have another?

I came to a realization today.  I think I may be a bit masochistic by nature.  Of course, I'm sure I can also be a bit sadistic as well, but that is another story for another time. I don't know if I am punishing myself for some unknown, subconsciously committed atrocity, or if I just self-inflict pain to periodically reassure myself I am still alive.  Not physical pain, mind you.  No, the pain I submit to falls squarely within the mental and emotional arena.  For some reason, I keep putting myself in situations which ultimately end up causing me varying levels of emotional or mental pain. Let's see if I can come up with a couple of examples, and unfortunately for you, dear reader, I am going to have to be a bit brutally honest about myself: I'm not happy with my physical appearance, and I haven't been for a long, long time -- like since-I-was-a-small-child long time.  No matter what I do, I can't get to the point where I would like to be.  When I...
