The above quote is by Maya Angelou. I grew up in a house where domestic violence was the norm, so I never had a concept of what a real healthy relationship looks like.
I've just had this facebook message:
"Yes, alcohol, drugs, women... The simple pleasures that are worth it. And this year has been pleasurable to say the least. 😁
I can take care of people if I choose to do so. But those are very dear to me and at this point it's just one person. Where you see emptiness, I see fullness. A different point of view is all the difference.
And love? If there ever is a person with whom I can imagine a... calm life, calm relationship, then so be it. I will gladly open myself to that and I will settle down. To this day there has only been one and she's one heck of a woman. Ambitious, independent, intelligent, stable, incredibly funny, experienced at life... Sadly at the time she wasn't ready for more. She might never be, so I might as well enjoy my excessive compulsive ride while I'm at it. And maybe I might find someone else who will enchant me. But no need to get attached if I don't feel IT. If someone else gets attached to me then that's their problem. I'm under no obligation to reciprocate. They are not the priority for me and they will never be. Selfish? Yes. But so is the need for others to put you first. If you truly love yourself, you will never have this need, you will never have a need for outside validation and gratification.
Maybe I sound a bit harsh but it's 2:30 am and I'm tired 😁😁
Any plans to travel in the upcoming months? "
I do enjoy talking to him, but I feel there's a lot being said in this message, even to keep him as a friend- would I be right in thinking I should just let this die out .
