I’ve been told a lot of times to lower my standards because I might become a cat person for the rest of my life. First, thanks for the concern. Second, why should I? Im not afraid of cats; I love them with every inch of my being. I too have my mom, my siblings, and everyone in the family is filling my days with love. Also, does anyone think that there is no such person who is smart, has depth, God-fearing, and is good looking? Is it really rare? Unrealistic? Of course not. I can’t date someone who does not have all of this. Sorry not sorry.

When I say that I set my bar high, it doesn’t mean that Im looking for someone who has no imperfection. Let’s stop that misconception about people who just want to respect themselves. I am worth the effort. YOU are worth the effort. How you let them treat you is actually the reflection of how you view yourself. Truthfully, I’m not scared of being alone. You know what’s wrong? It’s when you let them treat you less than your worth; when you downgrade yourself in exchanged of a temporary romance. Don’t ever underestimate your capabilities. I believe that the only way you could really love a person is when you value yourself first.

It is true that I could be alone for a very long time and it’s totally okay. I don’t get a **** that I’m cold nor I’m confident of myself. I have my preference. I have goals. I will never lower my standards just to be liked by someone. I am not a member of the hookup generation. Trust me, you can enjoy life with a cup of coffee and a comfortable bed.

She
She wants to be with you,
but she enjoys being alone

She doesn't want you to latch on her,
but she hates it when you talk to somebody else

She wants you to trust her,
Yet she cant tell her secrets

She only wants to be understood,
but she is clueless of herself

Everything will be okay, she yelled
It is messed up, she whispered.

"You are not hard to like"
He said.

But he never liked me.
