Swinging on a Star

Lately as you can probably tell from blogs, I've been thinking a lot about what I want from a relationship. To a certain extent that's perfectly natural as I start to date again. Actually if you think about it, it's pretty strange that most people don't. I'm sure you are wondering where is all this coming from. Let's face it, I've been single for awhile now. Of course this gives me a decent amout to reflect upon. And to be honest after awhile dating becomes a little, what's the word. I would say tedious, but that seems like such a cynical thing to say. But to be honest there's part of me that longs to be in a relationship. That misses all the great things that a relationship includes. Though don't get me wrong I have no intention of settling again. Not that I believed I settled last time.

But hey we all make mistakes. At least I've learned from mine. And it's better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved. The way I see it, there are only two options. To be bitter and do nothing but regret my past mistakes. Or accept that I made some mistakes and learn from them. If you ask me the latter is the better option. And now I know, from learning from my past experience, that I'm not gonna accept anything less than a great love in my next relationship. Or for that matter any future relationship. And now I accept that I'm ready for it. The only question is deciding what to do about it.
