I’ve been reading over the last couple of days and I’ve even been on a couple of dates. I haven’t found anyone worth building a lasting relationship with, well, not at this point anyway. Maybe one of the guys I’ve talked to will blossom into more or maybe I’ll just move on to someone new.

So what have I been reading? A really good book that helps us identify our needs and helps us fufill them. This way we won’t be looking for a partner to fulfill our needs making us happier and also helping to find more fulfilling relationships with everyone including significant other’s. I went to emotionalindex.com and took the emotional needs quiz and found that my top 4 needs are:

• To be Loved/Cherished
• To be Independent
• To be Heard/Communicate
• To have Peace/Balance

Now this all sounds like me! I want to feel loved and cherished! Don’t we all? I yearn to be independent once again. I want to be heard, but people (mainly my folks) don’t listen, and I want to have peace and balance in my life. This book also helped me come up with a list of strong boundaries to put in place so I can start being happier and to start fufilling my needs. All my needs are fairly easy to fufill if I can humble myself to ask loved ones (family & friends) to show me more love. Becoming independent is also a major goal. I’m going to use my tax refund to purchase myself a car and try for a better job so I can move into my own place. Bartending at the Sand Bar is way too slow and I think I have the experience I need now to move on to a new bar like a hotel or something or I may find another type of job until the spring where I will go back to bartending again.

I don’t know what to do, but I’m just going to see where life takes me. I also plan on going back to school in the Summer for some web-design classes to improve my web-design and computer graphics skills.
