Settling Down?!?

I was speaking with a friend today about my mess of a life. I recently ended it with my sons father. It has been a horrendous break up. My ex decided to tell me I am damaged and that is why I do not want to settle down. I have been thinking about this "settling down" since. He is absolutely right, I do not want to SETTLE down. Who does? Why should I settle for anything less than what I believe I deserve? Why because he believes we should settle down together and live a mediocre life? No, Thank you. I will pass on this "settling down." I want more, maybe I am selfish. I want passion, adventure and excitement. He says well your life can not always be like that. Well, why the hell not? It is my life and I want to live it the way I want. If that means being alone for the rest of my life, so be it. I will at least be living my life at my standards, not what someone else has set for me. Life is short, and I refuse to be anything but happy. I refuse to be in a relationship, where I am not heard, not cherished, not appreciated and certainly do not want to be in a relationship where I can not speak my mind. I want to feel loved, not be told I am loved. I want to feel appreciated, not told I am. If I do not feel these simple things why should I settle? Its like eating a sandwich, you have the option to get the roastbeef with the works or just cheese. Would you settle for the cheese? When you can have roastbeef? I know I wouldn't! You shouldn't either. I want my roastbeef sandwich, and I know someday I will have it. I will have a passionate, exciting and loving relationship that I deserve. Do not settle for mediocre, we each are put on this earth to achieve great things, and settling is not an option. Find that undescribable love that fulfills your every need and want. Stop feeling pressure to settle. We are not cupcakes, we do not need to conform into what society expects us to. So, what I am 32 with 2 kids and single. I made my own type of family. Love is our greatest adventure do not let anyone take that away from you, just because you are supposed to be doing stuff at certain ages or times in your life. So, I guess my whole point of this rant is, I am too awesome to "settle down." Lots of love. Hope you enjoyed. I would love to hear your comments.

Thank You,
