Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a very good job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Safari. Exceptional Blog!

I love this post. It’s so powerful, so deep, and so true. Sometimes I forget how important it is to love yourself…. at the end of the day, if no one else is there, you’ll always have you.

Thanks for sharing.

Dear Amy,

Thank you for sharing your enlightening experiences with us. If I had not picked up last Wednesday’s issue of 24 Hrs on my way to the bus stop, I’d have not read this empowering article. Like Hannah, I felt that your story reflected my experiences with my past relationships and the painful heartbreaks that followed. While reading your article on the bus, it struck me that the reason why I always end up falling for jerks is simple—I failed to love myself. But like you, I’ve learned to be my own gatekeeper. And that means respecting myself and being fully aware that I deserve guys who appreciate my worth.

I’m truly thankful that I read your article, because it has allowed me to reflect on the lessons I learned from my past relationships. Your article also inspired me to write a Facebook entry about my painful relationships, and through the process of writing, I felt self-renewed.

Keep on writing and sharing, Amy, because your words are like gems of wisdom. And be reassured that you’ve fulfilled your wishes in writing: your blog entries have touched me, and have made me feel understood and not so alone in the world. I’ll keep your advice and insights close to my heart; although I’m only 19 and have much to learn, your experiences will guide me on my journey of self-discovery. I look forward to reading more of your heartwarming entries!

Thank you for this enlightening article. It sums up my own poor relationships with men, including the five men who I thought I could truly count on…my father, my stepfather and my three brothers. They have all let me down. Thanks also for quoting Marilyn Monroe’s famous truth. Her words will comfort me for the rest of my life.

I couldn’t have read your article at a more perfect time in my life right now. I was reading your article on my way home from school today and it felt like you were speaking directly to me. I don’t think you could have described it more clearly or accurately when you said you were “hungry for love, even DESPERATE for it at times, heart aches, heart tramples, picking up that phone when every cell in your b ody knows it’s the unhealthy thing to do, OBSESSING…” I recently met someone and after only 6 e-mails back and forth, he asked me if I wanted a boyfriend? If I hadn’t read your article, I’m pretty sure I would’ve said yes to his question even though clearly I know nothing about him. You say you’re 28 and you wish you could’ve talked to your younger self, “that that desperate for love and therefore often blinded by ideas, fabrications and untruths in order to try and capture it” well, I’m your younger self, i’m turning 19 years old. I will take everything you said to heart and truly believe that I’m worth more then that and keep my heart safe because it’s a precious gift
This all sounded too corny, but 100% true at the same time. Thank you, you’ve made my day

Hi Kate,

Thanks for reading and for your comment. It’s funny – when I”m going through something emotional in life, I sometimes feel like I’m alone in the experience. As you write and share, you start to realize how people from all different ages and situations all have similar feelings, hopes, fears, stories…

And at the end of the day, we all want the same thing – love, a big hug when we’re feeling sad or down and some compassionate words of reassurance once in a while.

Keep writing and sharing. =)

Wow, Amy. Based on your wording, it appears that we’re cut from the same cloth, and think the same thoughts. I’ve used some of the very same words as yourself, in my own (earlier) blog entries, as well as stuff I’d posted to Facebook. Clearly, we’re on the same wavelength.

Well written post. And the quote from Sex in the City states it so well-thanks for sharing such a vulnerable topic

Thanks Amy for sharing these thinking. You helped an elder woman right now

I agree the heart is a very precious gift, but the girls in sex and the city definitely don’t think their body as temples, LOL.
