Poem

This is probably the sweetest thing I have received in a long time -

===========================

Si pudiese ser una parte de ti

elegiria ser tus lagrimas

Porque tus lagrimas

son concebidas en tu corazon

nacen en tus ojos

viven en tus mejillas

y se mueren

en tus labios

============================

English translation:

If I could be a part of you

choose to be your tears

Because your tears

are conceived in your heart

born in your eyes

live on your cheeks

and die

on your lips

Why are great guys attracted to crazy women?

Just got off the phone with my BFF - T. He broke off the engagement with this crazy girl, and I really hope this is final.

T is one of the most qualified bachelors I know. He is good looking, tall, intelligent, successful, and most importantly, he knows how to treat women right. And no, I have never been involved with him. He is a great friend and will always be a close friend of mine.

As wonderful as he is, the girls he has dated are all somewhat emotionally unstable. I don't want to say they are psychos but they just don't seem too normal to me or anyone in our circle. Their level of insanity goes from sitting at home all day ever since they met and financially dependent on him, to running him over with a car. T is generous to all of them. He doesn't mind buying expensive gifts and paying everything for the girl. It's nice, but I somehow feel that these girls are really taking advantage of his generosity.

This time his ex-fiancee stormed into his place to ask for her engagement ring back (after she returned it back to him when they broke up). She said it's a collateral just in case T walks out from the lease they both signed on the property he is currently living as her reasoning. WTF?!

Last time he dated this girl who cheated on him and lied about it. T found out and tried to reason with her. This shameless woman went nuts and hit him with the BMW he bought her.

One time he broke up with this girl, she black-mailed him. And I was one of the mail recipients.

He asked me why can't he find someone normal.

One thing I need to mention. Most of these girls have a common trait - they were either beauty queens, or have been in a beauty pageant. The ex-fiancee isn't one but she is clinically diagnosed with borderline personality + bipolar.

I don't blame men for admiring beauty, but dating beauty queens comes with a price. Successful men often come with a big ego. Women who are young and beautiful also have a big ego, it's just manifested in a different way. These women need to be worshipped. They want men to treat them like princess. I am sure T did a good job pampering them at the beginning, but how long can you keep it up? They always want more, and when you begin to have doubt and stop paying/paying less attention to them, they go nuts.

These women are insecure deep down inside because they don't have anything else worth showing off besides their youth and looks. I often think strippers work not only for money, but also their desperate need of self-validation.

T, I know you are in excruciating pain now, and I don't have an immediate solution for you. I am not saying you are superficial, but IMHO, you really need to find someone real.

The butterflies, the baggage, and the disillusion

J,

It concerned me after reading your recent blog entry. Girl, you can do better than that. As I recall one of our past conversations, we talked about how people sometimes have their moments of weakness and do/think stupid things, and I am no exception.
Sweetheart, you are only 25 and probably going thru what I call "the quarter life crisis". Honestly, there really is no hurry to get into a relationship, get married, and have babies anytime soon. I wish I were 25 again and have all the energy to hold three jobs, go to grad school, and party all the time.
Life is wonderful and full of promises at age 25.
I wish I was not trapped in a relationship that wasn't going anywhere when I was 25. Please read Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" page 1-28 then you'll understand what I am talking about.
I seriously don't miss the relationship inertia (hm, I tend to use this word very often lately). I learned to live well and be happy alone.
I don't miss the "routine" of rushing home straight from work, cooking and eating dinner with the same person every night. And I certainly don't miss going to Walmart and doing chores for two people every weekend.
When guys who are in their mid-twenty and tell me they want to settle down with someone and have a committed relationship. I would think 1. you are naive. 2. you want to score a date with me, with an assumption that I want to settle down like... tomorrow because I am older than you (that happened to me a few times lately).
Don't get me wrong, I am not jaded. I miss the feeling of craving for a person, I miss being infatuated with someone, I miss the butterflies, and I want to be able to say -- "loving you means everything to me" to someone someday and for the rest of my life. I like attention from the person I love, but not to the level that I need to be a 24/7 couple with him.
When a guy tells you he doesn't want to have a relationship while he is hooking up with you. Don't even think twice that he might change his mind. No matter how often he compliments you, he is just not that into you.
Call me when you feel lonely. Do not sell yourself short and compromise. You have a lot to offer, and you will find someone wonderful.
And I, too, decided to throw away all my baggages and start new.
