Keep going..
Yesterday was miserable for me. I felt terrible all day. Almost suicidal. Today the sun is shining, and its the warm spring sun. I slept well and I feel much better. I think the more days that go by that I dont talk to her or see her, the better I feel. I wish I didnt need her for financial support, I could really cut down our interactions. Hopefully this week I get a job. Yesterday I was thinking, what woman would want me? Sure I think im decent looking, and ive lost almost all my extra weight with this divorce. But, I am 37, have 2 kids, and no stable career or house. Women at my age want security. They want stability. Right now I have neither, and it could be 2 or 3 years before I have them. But today I think a lot about some things I do have. 1- Im emotionally honest. Lots of men out there are shut off. They dont like emotional conflict, or talking about their emotions. I like to talk about it, get it in the open. I think lots of women like that in a man. 2- I love to laugh and make others laugh. I can be a real screwball sometimes, and I think it gives me a certain amount of charm. Women love a sense of humor. 3- I take care of myself. I cut my nails. I shower at least once a day. I take care of my teeth. I trim my beard and keep it colored. I wear nice clothes now that ive lost weight. Hygeine is very important to me. 4- I am dynamic. Im not a guy who just goes to work, pays bills, and lives. I work hard when im working, but I also like to play. I can act like a mans man watching football and playing softball etc..but I also read books, and like to have intelligent conversations. I can write and I continue to go to school to educate myself. 5- Although im 36 (almost 37), I still have enourmos potential. There is so much I can do yet. 6- I have a huge heart. I am loyal to a fault. I am not capable of betrayal. Time to look at the classifieds and see about finding that job.
