May Day, May Day...but not the usual kind

May I have your attention, please? Ahem, thank you. I would just like to first thank you for taking time out to read what I have to say. Your time is valuable and I appreciate you using a moment of it to see what I have to say.
Hear ye, hear ye...I'm ready for love. I'm open and secure enough to consider allowing someone into my life. This has been a yo-yo of a decision as I'm happy single and choose not to pursue anyone, but I'm ready to trust myself with exchanging interest with someone. That means I allow myself to be vulnerable. That takes a lot of trust. I know people have to earn trust, but we first have to trust ourselves and I trust me. I recently explored having an involvement with someone who I found out wasn't worthy. I saw signs but because I'm emotional and have been prone to jump to conclusions, I had to dig deeper into my soul. I sought the counsel of the Holy Spirit that lives within me and I know I can trust my gut. When I got the confirmation that I needed that it wasn't worthy, I walked away from it just like that. I felt sadness. I cried for a minute; really, about sixty seconds I sobbed, and then it was all over. I felt nothing but strength after that. I love the person but I can't be in love with someone who doesn't love himself enough to give himself the best. I can't do a pessimist or anyone with hate in their heart. I even still think about him. All I can think is I hope he gets it together for himself because anyone I know, I want the to do and have the best they can. That's the true meaning of love - being completely unselfish. I loved this person enough to let him go. More than anything I let go of the need to control a situation over which I have none. I only have control over me, my thoughts, my feelings, and my behavior. I choose to behave in a way that will ensure that I, too, have what I want others to have: happiness.
I will dwell in happiness so that I attract happiness. I will look for the best in others but I won't overlook warning signs. I will not settle for less than respect, devotion, and adoration...and I'll be receptive when it shows up.

Love me,
Angel
