Going through a situation right now that has got me confused and emotionally frustrated. So I went on a search for some photos/quotes that inspired me today. Here are the ones that spoke to me the most:

About Me
- WatchingStars
- I am a girl who was born in Northern Wisconsin, but loves Florida...I am a girl who loves Ketchup but hates tomatoes..I am a girl who loves colorful things, but my favorite color to wear is black...I am a girl who loves to capture life in photographs and travel around the world. Well someday I hope to, but I have been all over my country and met a lot of amazing people! I love to write and hope to someday publish my own book. I've always believed in never giving up on your dreams, and it seems the older I get, the harder it is to keep pursuing them. I am realizing the time is NOW. This is it. Now or never...

It seems as though you've lost something near and dear to you, perhaps from a relationship -- judging from the quote about a person. All I can say, is that sometimes we're looking to the wrong people to help us become who we're meant to be.
The media and romance novels can fabricate tales of great, off-your-feet-sweeping relationships that frankly don't do women much justice because we just sit around waiting for princes. Don't sit around moping in a tower, girl! Follow *your* heart, not someone else's. Screw trying to fit into someone else's fairy tale. I've been there; it never pays off.
I wasted four years of my life being madly in love with a young man who I'd gone to school with. He was first trumpet in the symphony, was active in the community, and was planning a trip to India to volunteer in a leper colony and help with an orphanage. I never told him how I felt, and I wasted nights crying over him. I thought it was the end when he got engaged. But I got over it, and I never thought I would. I realized that what I loved about him was what I wished I'd had in my own life. So I set out to get involved in my community, and I learned the rewards of helping others.
Oh, believe me. I'd dreamed I'd marry that young man back then, but I began to see his flaws, which I hadn't noticed since I'd placed him on that pedestal for so many years. I realized that it hadn't worked out for a reason. Because I met the love of my life, who I never thought could have existed, only two years later.
I speak from experience when I say that true love comes along when you least expect it. So forget the hassles of this person who obviously didn't respect your heart enough to keep it happy and fulfilled. Write down in a list everything you want in a guy, lock it away, and forget about it. Start to love yourSELF. Be healthy, be happy, and get intuned with YOUR calling. Is it photography? Ask Spirit for some guidance. Look for signs about YOU, not this painful mess you're going through.
And for goodness sake, child, don't turn to alcohol. Alcohol damages the pineal glands of the brain, the cone shaped recepter to psychic senses.
As far as direction, look to your past. They say that when we were ten years old, what we enjoyed most was our path. When I was ten, I was designing and manufacturing stationary for family and friends, and eventually started selling personalized paperworks of the sort. That's now my job, and I've never been happier. We all have a calling in life, and at times our 'egos' can decieve us into thinking we have one purpose, when in reality it's something completely different.
So, in conclusion. You're not lost, you're merely beginning to realize that this relationship took too much of YOUR time and energy. God still loves you just as much as before (I hope you're not atheist LOL in which case, I'm sorry for spewing this at you and just ignore it if you wish,dear) and there's still a detailed plan for you. It's a twisting and surprising plan, but it's exactly the way it's meant to be. The Secret, is a great book that you might enjoy right now. And, honey, I'm not quite sure what he did --whether he turned out to be a rotten cheater, a gambler, or was verbally/physically abusive or what -- but don't give him the satisfaction of letting him know that he's STILL the center of your life. If you run into him at the grocery store, just smile and say Hey. And move on.
It's time to make your life about YOU. Keep a diary of your goals and dreams and what you're doing to actively reach them.
And I'm terribly sorry for going all Dr. Phil on you, but you seemed so sad in your blog that I could almost feel your pain, and it reminded me of what I've been through in my own past, child.
So here's to you, dear -- to you and YOUR heart .. and not that scumbag's.
Aww thanks for the comment and thoughts. No I am realizing that if he truly wants me, then he has to make an effort. I am not going to spend my life waiting. I've been there done that before, and it took me a year to move on. Not this time, I have so many things I want to do and see happen for me, and life is short. So no worries. I will be fine! :)
