I had met up with an old girlfriend that I havent seen in YEARs.

She was talking to me and just raving about how she "Understands me now". I remember her saying something like now that she understands god she now understand me and why I am the way I am. It sounds cheesy and all but every time she would say "I understand you" it just made me feel good about myself.

Im a pretty independent person, its pretty common for me to isolate myself. Its my own fault that people dont know me very well. I just dont like to throw too much out there unless im comfortable with the relationship. Maybe thats why it felt great to have someone say that. Who knows?

but it was just a dream.

Im glad you mentioned that. lol. Really?

Thanks for the kind replies.

I just think its time. Ive been single for . . . . .5 years. Im ready to open up a bit. Even though im independent and keep to myself, my family has told me that they have seen a change.
