Many thanks to you nice people for being so gosh darned supportive during my meltdown. No worries, I am back on track and officially Working On Things. Small change Numero Uno is to GET MY ARSE TO THE GYM. I figure if I can build up some strength, then I'll be better able to enjoy the trapeze Marika mentioned. (Aside: DAMN STRAIGHT, Marika! Bring on the whipped cream! And the adoration.)

At least you have the wishing...the desire, the emotion of wanting to change. I really do believe that's a start.

Firstly, this was wonderfully written.

Secondly, I'm a firm believer that you have to move at your own pace. So what if you weren't ready to meet this guy? There will be another, and I'm sure that there will be a time where again, that hand will be offered. Maybe you won't be ready then, either, but there will be another after that, and at some point you'll be ready to take that hand. You are *obviously* a great girl, everything you write screams that you are, and there will be another. There will always be another, you won't ever have a problem with that.

It's like anything else that you've been away from for a while. It can take a while to get used to something again, but over time your attitude towards it will change, and then something that seemed like a horrible idea before, suddenly makes absolute sense.

And THEN you get to have rip-roaring sex on a trapeze while your new lover paints your body with whipped cream and adoration. : )

Oh, honey.

What makes life so interesting is that it is varied and unpredictable, and this is true even when you think you know exactly what's going to happen tomorrow and tomorrow and forever. Maybe the little miracle you need is one step further than this mystery man, one who understands even a tick further than this guy does, one who will persist, gently and funnily, until you feel safe enough to dip your toe in the water.

Improbable? Maybe. Rare? Surely. But even this guy showed you that there are wonderful things about you that even a stranger sees, and that your hurdle is not being worth loving, but feeling safe enough to see if it can work.

Trust your Uncle Wunelle. It will happen. You just have to know that it takes time, and more time than would be necessary if you were simple and sunny. We can't all be that, and someone will be eternally grateful for it.

This is amazingly worded, and so well-said that I feel as though any response doesn't do it justice, Canary.

I do agree with jamy, though. One small step at a time, my dear.

I truly believe you can change yourself into someone you would like to spend time with. And I hope you will try.

I'm not a therapist, but I think it would help if you just tried to change one little thing. One step at a time, right? Trying to overturn your whole life is too daunting for even the most happy of people.

Also, I know you know this, but no one else is going to save you. That's your job alone. Friends can help, though. Maybe even blog friends?

Take care.
