yeah...a wise woman told me that if my last boyfriend was a jerk, I would have never learned anything. Usually the guy we think is "The One" (or one of the ones at least) -- the guy who we love and want to grow old with -- when they dump us, we learn the most....

so yeah, one of my goals next time around is to STAY as is and not try to change to suit someone else. Plus I'm keeping my goals and dreams and friends. I don't ever need to keep my life in a holding pattern ever again.... ;-)
