A diva accepts herself as she is right now and strives to be even better.
She doesn't change who she is to fit someone else's idea of what she ought to be.
She reaches for her own ideal sense of whom she wants to be.
She's strong; she's courageous; she's creative.
The reception we received in Houston has exceeded our expectations by a long shot, said a surprised Oneal. A lot of the success has to do solely with the people we’ve hired to run our office. They are exceptional individuals, who not only take the time to truly listen to our clients, but they take a personal interest in our member’s social lives as well. Michael McKinney, a father of three children, heads Introductions Inc’s Houston operations. Michael says that letting people experience the fulfillment of a happy marriage and helping people build relationships rooted in honesty and trust is what he strives for. Michael has experienced this life and he wants everyone to experience what he has!
I have an ex, I guess he is my first love. I was head over heels when I met this guy, totally smitten. We were perfect for each other, when we were together, about three and a half years ago. We got along great and everything was peaches. But our relationship, lasted two years in total, became long distance (for about a year), and the distance tore us apart. We were on and off some time after our break up (about six to eight months), but we were always too afraid to fully commit because neither of us had the funds or means to relocate. We did love each other, but it was poor timing, we were young and could not handle the strain of a 10 hour drive distance.
We still speak, talk about how we are still in love and that our lives are finally getting to more stable places. We love all the same things and he understands me. I have dated and had a couple relationships after him, but no one gave me butterflies. We have been talking pretty heavy over the last few months and he even came to visit me (and we hooked up). It was romantic and sweet, and it reminded me how much I missed us. We talked about how much we missed us and how we wanted it to work. Two weeks after he left, I found out not only was he in a relationship....he is MARRIED! Not only is he married, it's to a girl (she is 19 with two kids and he is 27) and they have been dating sense right after we broke up (which means she was 17 and he was 25)!
I was crushed, sick, and brought to tears (which is rare for me). I confronted him about it, asked him why he did this and all he said was that he was sorry. That he doesn't know if this is what he wants, that he misses me, cares for me, wants me and wakes up thinking "What the hell did I do?" Part of me believes him, I want to hold on to what we have and had. I want to believe him, but part of me is disgusted. I'm sickened. His wife has tried to contact me, her e-mails and texts are all in giant screaming letters and I have yet to respond. I feel betrayed, and like a toy. I sometimes feel perhaps one day we will work out, but I also think he made his bed and decided to marry her so he has to deal with it. He has told me, sense I found out that he married her because he was afraid I would never settle for him. He didn't want to be alone, and I enjoy doing what I want when I want and he couldn't handle it. But sense we have been getting on well and we had such a great time on his visit he realized how different we both are now and he feels he made a mistake. I no longer know how I feel, what to do, or what is going on. I love him, but I this makes me sick.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has every been in a situation like this...what did you do? What do you do? What can I do?
At my place of employment I deal with many men. It is a male dominated work place. I do not mind, I love my job I am Human Resource Manager. I grew up in a family where we did not discuss our feelings and I tend to not be an overly emotional person, like we can be accused of being. I am not very emotional any way, just as a person.
I am working on getting our water lines fixed and today a fellow came out who was to give me an idea on how much it will cost to fix it. He did no such thing, claimed he fixed it, told me nothing about it and wanted to charge the company $175 for doing nothing I asked for. I was angered and told him I was not paying it. He left to talk to his manager, the tech came back in and while he was on speaker the manager of the tech worked for said "I don't want to talk to some damn receptionist! Give me a manager, I do not want to talk to some woman who does not know what she is talking about." I stood there listening to this...Now there is nothing wrong with being a receptionist, in fact many women do the job then end up in higher places of employment within their company. I however am not a receptionist, I am a woman. I was offended that this was the case. The manager called and I voiced my opinion. I am fiesty and can get fired up. I stated how the tech did not speak to me, did not give me a walk through, did not do anything he was to do then said he fixed it but then stated it was not actually fixed. I was angered. When I stated my position as Human Resource Manager and head of the office. The Manager's tone changed. He backed tracked.
On my down time, I garden in my vertical garden, read, eat, drink, watch films, listen to sad music, chit chat with my best friend, spend hours in grocery stores, I enjoy all things 60's, 70's, and owls, I practice Bikram Yoga, and window shop for cute men.
I was an Anthropology major in college.
