keep your expectations low, but be prepared to bring your hopes down to meet them....cheekie 2008

Here I am.
Here I be.
I am me.

A little Cheekie Suess for you there.

Having a rather interesting/difficult/fun/whirlwind of a time right now.

I guess the major thing right now for me is work. Busy as a two dollar hooker.
That's two dollar's American, the Canuck Buck ain't worth crap right now...


The other, as usual, my constant quest to understand men.
I. Give. Up.

What is it about men, either they think themselves way too good for you, or the opposite.
Which is worse?
Why do some men never feel they can measure up, give you what you need.
Is it your expectations being projected, or their own?

I think it is their own.
If you think about the men who say 'I am not good enough for you' or 'I can't give you what you need'...well, the majority have some pretty high expectations of a relationship.
Their parents are/were together a long time.
They grew up in a loving stable home. (generalizing from some personal experiences of late...this certainly isn't the norm)

They want nothing less.
Yet.
They do everything in their power to prove how incapable they are of this.
They drink too much, don't call, sleep with anything....
Do they feel that there is no way to measure up to the example they had?
Do they feel unworthy???

I don't get it. I don't understand. Help me.

No one in their right mind thinks they are perfect at relationships.
No ONE.
No one feels that they are 'good enough' for the absolute best in life.
And don't tell me you do, deep deep down.
Yes, you may feel you 'deserve' happiness, that you are worthy of it.
But honestly, do you really feel that the world owes you the best???

God I hope not.

All I want is someone to laugh with, love with, share with.
That's it.
I don't need a house in the suburbs.
I don't need a man that never drinks/smokes/stays out watching the game with his buddies.

I want to give and receive love and respect.

Now.

Is that too much to ask???
Nope. And darlin' you deserve it too.
And I hope you find it, cause one day, I will.

With or without you.
xoxo
Cheekie
