Accepted

It was nice to be accepted by a guy. In previous relationships, I have not truly been accepted for who I am with all my strange intricacies. And truth be told, while we were dating, I focused on that aspect because it was so new... and so obviously what I had been lacking. But it wasn't enough. What I DID have in previous relationships is what lacked in this one. They may not have truly accepted certain things about me, but they wanted me. They enjoyed every minute with me and always wanted more. They always wanted to draw closer to me and bring our relationship to a deeper level. And you can argue that without acceptance of who I am, they can't really have truly wanted ME, but...

So, two weeks out and I'm still sad, but I'm okay. I'm glad that I was able to see what being accepted might look like, but I deserve more than that. I want to be accepted AND wanted.
