Who gave this monkey a computer? Proves a monkey can be taught anything. And why does his mother hate him? He is serious right? Does he laugh at himself in his sleep, how ridiculous!!!!!! Wow! Now, now, well-spoken creep, the woman that rejected you and started this ball of misery that is you, rolling down hill, get over it!!! But I must say, you’re funny!!!!!! Too funny to be upset over! Laughably unimpressive!!!

She was the best, the absolute cream of the crop of what the modern female has to offer- and she wasn’t worth it. It’s MGTOW for me. I’ll probably never enter a serious relationship again. And I’m at peace with that.

Add to that several red flags that outlined the possibility of her cheating in the future. The nagging clinched it. What she provided versus what she cost me + the risk I would be taking on simply wasn’t worth my lifelong commitment, so I ended it, even though it broke my damn heart.

Frankly, I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone about it.
I’ve had to work so hard on myself, It’s taken blood, sweat and tears, literally, to get to the stage I’m at now, and I’ve still got a long way to go.
I don’t think it makes me a bad person, but I feel like this will put somewhat of a strain on a relationship (if I ever get into one).
I’m super super grateful for being alive and having so much support, and I never want to seem like a whiny, or self-pitying, because there are people who have it far worse than I do.

But the truth is…

I’m scared that no one will have the patience to put up with some of my erratic behaviour. I’m scared that I’ll be like this for the rest of my life.
I need to know that I deserve someone. That there’s someone out there who can understand me, or at least not judge me for who I am.

This quote really speaks to me, because I feel that I’m going to start setting standards for myself. It doesn’t mean I’m never willing to compromise or that I’m holding out for someone who worships me.

It’s a form of self-love and self-respect; I’m not perfect and I never will be, I accept that. I accept my flaws, and I accept yours. A relationship with me might not be easy, but I’ll definitely make it worth the trouble.
I’m never going to stop improving myself, and I hope that’s enough.
I’m done with my inner critic, all it’s ever done is make things worse.
