I'm trying super hard to make sure my past does not rule my present. I'm trying to make sure I don't judge him based on others. I'm trying to keep my composure, and trying not to react so quickly.

I just saw a quote "When a man shows you WHO he is, believe him..". I'm trying to believe him. Actually, what scares me is that I do, and then I can't be mad anymore. I BELIEVE his sincerity, but my past tells me never to trust whole heartedly..and I'm trying not to listen to my past cuz what's a relationship without wholehearted trust...?

Its been a short time, but from day one he has said things that I NEED to hear, not what he thinks I WANT to hear. He handles me, "flaws and all" and does it with a smile. He doesn't critisize any part of me or my life. He contacts me as much as I contact him. He loves and understands my work, and encourages me to keep at it. He does little, sweet things for me that I've never had done before. He makes sure I know that I'm wanted...

And that's everything I need in a man, regardless of what I WANT. Its just so hard for me not to get annoyed at certain things. I know the only reason I get annoyed is because of past relationships that have set precedents.

I need to work on it. I will not let my past dictate my present because my present is setting me up for the future, and in my future..is happiness.
