A Revelation

Well...Today I had what I believe was a revelation.  I realized something important about myself and who I am today.  Today I realized I need to stop being so impulsive -- really think things through -- and do what makes ME (and not other people) Happy.  I decided to break up with my boyfriend of 9 months today. Ed. I realized that his expecations were way to high for me -- he wanted me to be with him forever since practically the 1st day I talked to him. I also realized that I do not appreciate the way he operates or treats me. He was way too old for me (By more than 30 years). So, he did not understand when I told him that "I did not know who I am yet...I am only a child". If anything, this breakup has taught me that I need to take things slowly with every relationship I enter into in the future. And I need to establish, truly, who I am as a person. What I REALLY like and REALLY want in a relationship. For one thing, I learned that men who are extremly older than me probably will not work out for me anymore, as they cannot relate to me very well...As I am so young.   I think I am going to be by myself for a few years...because I really need to discover myself and who I am.  Although breakups are always rough, I am proud that I came to this realization on my own. And I know I did the right thing.
