Well a few words for Romeo - You aren't worth the wait.
I never thought I was capable of being happy on my own. Once you let someone into your life and fill the space occupied by your shadow, when they're gone, well, there's just a shadow. Before the shadow was something you never noticed, now it becomes an empty place that nothing else can fill. The shadow doesn't ever go away, but the need to fill it does, and it happens quite unremarkably and unnoticed, an accumulation of days and weeks.
The good thing about growing stronger as a person is that you don't need anyone to reassure you. You realise that no-one on earth is qualified to judge you, and even if they tried you are intellectually capable of ripping them to pieces if you want to.
It's funny because you realise that all the bad things that ever happened from you haven't detracted from your personality, they have just added to it.
I guess I'm finally starting to feel like I 'did it', meaning, I survived. And damn I've made it through so much - rape, cancer, suicide, bipolar. I am the strongest person I know, and the future is mine to create.
I stopped looking for Romeo the second I found happiness within. I stopped needing to be more than I am. I don't need a guy to complete me any more, I need my friends to have fun with, I need my family to love, but no, I do not need Romeo.
Juliet started a revolution.
