Okay kiddles, here is how it's got to be.
I have made a decision as to how my life is going right now. I am spending time having fun with and getting to know an incredible guy. If you think it's too early for me to be 'dating' right now, keep it to yourself. If you think we're only going to end up getting hurt, I don't want to hear about it. I am having a hard enough time dealing with my OWN head right now, and everybody else's opinions are just clogging things up. I have been praying and thinking and considering and praying some more and I came to the conclusion that I need to go with my feelings right now. If it isn't meant to be then it's not. We will learn that on our own. What I need right now is some support... I need somebody to realize that even though it may look to you like we're rushing things, I HAVE BEEN THINKING LONG AND HARD ABOUT IT. If I can't trust my own feelings then what do I trust? Do you know what it's like to feel like you're second-guessing yourself ALL THE TIME? I'm about to go insane.
So please... if you have some words of encouragement for me, I'm all ears. But I don't want your advice, and I don't want to hear that you think what I'm doing is a bad idea, and I definitely don't want you to say that I should be wary of myself. I already am wary of myself. Just tell me you love me and you support me and you hope I find what I'm looking for and you want me to be happy. Those are the things I need to hear. If you can't do that then please, at least for now, keep your opinions to yourselves.
It is my life. What goes on between me and him is between me and him and God, and that's how it ought to be. We are both fully aware of what we are doing, and we are both happy with the way things are going, and that's what matters.
Sorry about the vent. Thanks.
