Thank you for blessing me with your testimony, Actually I read several of your entries couple days ago and felt blessed. I, for one, am honored to be able to learn more about your life.

I don’t really know where to start, but I can relate to your story somewhat. In my own life I’ve kissed too many people; I have been confident around women, I too have gone thru a major life changine event in my life about 2 years ago just after meeting my GF. I can trace my journey of self-discovery back to a single decision, one that led me to a life-changing event. I know how you must’ve felt being rejected… “I have had that happen to me once in my entire life”,

Now I look back at some of the things that happened to me and stand amazed but amused at how some things changed and how some things seem to have stayed the same.

May the experiences you had (no matter how painful they were at the time) turn into experiences that can strengthen and encourage others, specifically younger generations.

Wishing you continued success in all your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Nabeel

Hi Amy,

I love this post. This is exactly what i am going through at the moment! It’s so nice to read an experience from someone else that has gone through the same situation and has come out of it. I also have these patterns dammit lol and i try to break them but somehow i keep getting stuck in this cycle. Each time i meet someone they all seem different but in the end they are not. Anyways reading your post gives me hope, strength, wisdom, and opens my eyes. Because once you get stuck in this cycle it’s like your mind gets blocked to hearing others opinions. You get hypnotized my these men. I love your blog you are very talented and have such awesome energy! xo

Thanks for writing this – I have a very sensitive rejection nerve, too, and very recently I also “purged” somebody from my life. Every time I am rejected outright (or so it seems) I run, and the purges are my way of running.

I love this post because I think 100% of people can relate to this. No matter how many times it’s relayed, no matter how many times the cycles happen…they happen and repeat.

It’s so sad what you went through at 6-years old. I think a lot of kids go through feelings of rejection in one form of another, whether they show it or not. The good thing is that you recognize things that are impeding your evolvement. The wonderful thing about having “problems” is that you get more opportunity to resolve them than someone who coasts through life. This makes you more empathetic, caring and emotionally more intelligent and strong. It’s people like this that will have true friends. Just when you think you’ve discovered yourself, you find that it will change and there’s more to learn. This is what makes living so wonderful. If people can treat problems as a postive thing to look fowward to (just as you have) then really, there is no problem.
Keep up the good writing Yammies.

Lotsa love.

Awesome post! It’s all so true. I definitely have had the tendency to cut things off when they don’t go according to the plan in my head too.

Through the years, I have realized that everything really does (or doesn’t) happen for a reason, like you said. I think my belief in this idea is what has kept me sane (and still fairly optimistic).

I’m going to send the link to this post to some of my girlfriends who I know will also relate.

Love your blog! Keep up the great content!
