Although I was quite happy and content with my previous relationship, I often felt taken for granted for the many things I did. Most importantly, I felt as if my body and mind were not fully appreciated. When I changed my diet, my body changed. When I started yoga, my body changed. For someone nearly 40, I think I look pretty good. π
It became fairly apparent that I was not being appreciated when I went to a brunch a few months back wearing a dress I had bought and saved up for when I was feeling pretty confident about my looks. I put it on and all I got was a stare and ‘that looks nice’. When I arrived at brunch with my girl friends, they were oohing and aahing at how amazing I looked. It surprised me and I felt a bit sad I had not gotten that from the man in my life. Just another sign that things were off between us.
Now that I’m back on the dating track – and having fun with it. It is nice to be told that I am attractive and hot. I find it rather ‘cute’. π I believe I have worked hard to maintain my looks and while I know I’m no supermodel, I do think I’ve done well with myself. So, it’s a nice feeling to flirt and be comfortable with my sexuality.
My younger years were froth with issues about being taken advantage of or of trying to hide what I had to offer. Now, I believe I am confident and aware of my boundaries so that I can flaunt and trot all I like with pride and joy! hahahhaha. It’s funny to even say that, but you know what I mean. I’m just enjoying being wanted! π
