Journal Entry for August 9, 2009 Mood
Sunday, August 9, 2009
tonight i realized just how much my last relationship messed up my confidence and my self worth. for the past 2 years i let myself feel like crap and now whenever i talk to a guy i immediately think i'm not good enough to talk to them or that i'm doing something wrong. it seems like every guy i let make me feel bad and don't even try to defend myself and i know it's because it was the habit i had gotten into for those years. i feel like i'm always going to be alone because of it. i found out a guy i'd known who i thought was genuine and caring was actually a person i never thought he'd be.  too make matters worse fighting has gotten unbearable between me and my dad and my best friend's having some issues of her own and i'm terrified she'll hurt herself and i dont know what to do. i feel like there's no where to go and needed to get this out of my mind if i want any hope of sleeping tonight.

    yes your jouranl is always a place to vent...before you sleep tonight pray that everything will work out =)... the guy issues is the same as i have...im scared to get into a relationship for nemorous reason one being i feel im not good enough... everyone has something to share with a bf or a gf... and when you find the right guy you will defianlty know and not have to question there acts... im sure you will meet someone worthy of you becasue your worth it..=)...dont let past relationships or bad experiences keep you from taking a go at a new one... just be there to support your friend sometimes they dont let you know whats really on there minds but being there helps and they will feel like they have a purpose and gives them strentgh to pull through any hardships there going through all the best okay...I hope everything works out for you okay =)

    Ladies!! Your self worth does not depend on some guy who's going to do you wrong. Measure your self worth by your values, goals, your contributions to your school, home, and community. When you measure your self worth by who you are..... no one can take that away. If you treat you well and pratice good self esteem, people will be attracted to that. Honestly, God will plant the perfect man in your life at the perfect time. In the meantime, go about your business and have fun with guy friends, girlfriends, family and yes - even alone.
    Mandy, find a youth pastor. a school counselor, a teen hotline or local mental health agency and get your friend there. A young life is the worst thing to waste.

    If you want to improve your lifestyle, then be prepared to make changes both in the way you do things, and the people you do them with. Do not put expectations on other people. Instead, looking to improve your own position and attitude will help things fall into place.

    Dear Mandy,

    I would suggest a relationship "holiday." Don't get into one right now! Just take it easy and find your self. Your (healthy) SELF worth is absolutely imperative to making GOOD decisions about relationships and other important concerns.

    Improve your relationship with your best freind. As you two get closer, you will find that the two of you together are stronger than you could EVER be alone. You can draw upon each other for strength to deal with your respective difficulties.

    Do things to improve your self esteem. Go to church, help the needy, get that job, or ANYTHING else, but getting a man right now. As was said very well, your value as a human being does not depend on a man. A relationship with a GOOD man can accentuate your life, but only if you are independent to begin with.

    Good luck,
    Wayne-

    I am too in a similar position for the last three years. I always felt that I am no good for each woman I face. But now I know that looking at you through others eyes will always lead you to complexion.

    A good daily workout is really helping me..... its important. I can suggest you do the same. Its simple but effective.
