Great expectations?
So right now, my place in my journey is where I've recently discovered who I am... finding myself and EMBRACING it....
But that brought up a big question:
IF I get in a new relationship, I want to be with someone who found THEMSELVES and moved beyond emotional issues.... first, is that too much to ask? And second, does any such person exist in the opposite sex?
Because if they haven't been through some kind of childhood trauma, they won't understand mine... won't understand how it shaped me... and that right there could be a problem...
and if they have, then I risk walking right into the same situation I just left... OR have that deep seated doubts that they are not as beyond those issues as I would think, or that mine might create problems.
Input please (and feel free to say I'm over analyzing, lol.)

I think this is the PERFECT time to start to reintroduce yourself back into the world of dating. Its time! Now that you know yourselve and have lived the life that you have, you now know what you want in another person. Im not saying its going to be easy, but I do recommend that you enjoy the journey. I also recommend that you be VERY selective. Make sure there are no red flags, and know what your red flags are. Think of it as a numbers game. Date as many different people as you can...thats the only way to find \"the one\". You can do this...and why not? You deserve to have love in your life.
