Life is one big learning opportunity. From Day One to Day X, you're always learning, whether it be from parents, siblings, teachers, mistakes... the list goes on and on. We learn anything from the basics, like how to walk and talk, how eat and use the potty, to the more difficult things, like in college, preparing for your future.

There are some things that can only be learned through self-experience and from learning from mistakes. Learning how to love and be compassionate towards another human being is one of those things, and believe me, I learned the hard way.

As many of you are probably aware, I was (keyword WAS) in a very complicated situation with another user on this website, that went on for several months. Well, last night, the proverbial crap hit the fan, and like that, it was over. Many mistakes were made by both parties during this time, and it just finally burst.

Now, I know that I am not too much of a looker. I know I'm an idiot more often than not. I know that I probably make more mistakes than the average person does.

I AM, however, a very committed, and dedicated individual. I am a very caring individual. I am a very compassionate individual, and someone who is not afraid to put everything on the line for someone who I believe is worth everything and even more so. One thing that I learned I am, is a fantastic soulmate that ANYONE these days would be lucky to get their hands on. Why the ego? Because, in all honesty, it's true. Just 99.99...% of people fail to really understand that, because they think "I'm a huge weirdo," or, "I've got a look perfect for radio," or so on and so forth.

It's become apparent to me that "some" individuals clearly cannot see that, or understand that. I guarantee you ladies, that if you give me just one chance to show you the real me, that you won't ever want to let go.

Now, back to the main point. Folks, relationships rely on trust, commitment, and most importantly, chemistry. If you do not have those coming from both sides, it just ain't gonna happen. You're better off moving on and finding someone who really feels the same way you feel about them. The same sort of thing goes if someone claims "they're not ready for another relationship." You're honestly just better off moving on, unless you know that they really aren't ready, but still have feelings for you.

Love and relationships; the whole idea is a very cruel mistress. One slip, and it could spell disaster. However, if you and your partner can honestly put in all the work, patience, and commitment to make a relationship successful, then it becomes a beautiful thing. Just be careful.
