Comfortable In My Own Skin

Once I became comfortable in my own skin, meaning I wasn't concerned with what people had to say about my relationship, I began to enjoy it. My ex traveled the world before we were together and I must say that he did his best to make sure that we traveled also.

Our years of dating were fun although at times I slipped into insecure spaces when faced with older more experienced women. He seemed to have a connection with everyone that he came in contact with and I became an on looker at times as flirting went on right before my eyes. I honestly do not believe that his intention was to disrespect me, it was more so a combination of my insecurity and his lack of attention to the way in which his words came across.

At this point I realized that I had to become Comfortable In My Own Skin if I had plans on my relationship working. I have never been one to argue or expect someone else to change. Instead, I look at myself and ask, "what can I do to change myself?" How can I alter what I'm doing to make a large enough impact on another person's life that they will deem me important enough to change on their own. This is a method that I have seen work yet it is not always as effective as we would like it to be. Nonetheless, Once you become comfortable with yourself, you can begin to move forward. Remember that in a relationship if two people become selfless and completely open, there leaves little room for error. Try it for a day!
