Many of my friends if not all, have already lost their virginity, and being a virgin, I felt left out and couldn't relate to them. <br> <br>I didn't believe my friends when they'd say to me, that I was lucky to be a virgin and to save it for someone special. I thought, "they just wanted all the fun". Until I met and became interested in this guy who was sweet, charming, and confident in my eyes. And that's when it happened, we had a one night stand. After the incident, I felt alot of guilt and at the same time, I wanted to cling to him, even though I had realized that all he wanted was sex. When I didn't give in to him the second time, I never heard from him since. <br> <br>I felt a ton of different emotions, including self pity, regret, and I thought that I was a horrible human being. After a year of emotional support from my closest friends, and alot of prayer, asking for forgiveness, I finally learned to forgive him and most of all, myself. <br> <br>Now, I am a different woman, and more selective of who I want to share my new & awesome life with :) My perspective of life has completely changed from being all about hot bf, party & sex into loving myself in order to have love for others, and enjoying life while it lasts! and most of all being able to forgive, because it has set me free. Life is truly about the journey, and not the destination. I wouldn't change a thing. <br> <br> When I was in higschool and even during my first two years in college, I thought that life was all about having a hot bf, party and sex.

When we broke up both of us were relieved and even crying about it. Afterwards I fell apart. During the past six months I wasn't happy either and I was passive, wanting him to come to the same realization as I that it must end. I wanted him to be the one to break up with me because somehow I thought being on the same page would make a difference. Then once it happened I couldn't stop myself. I needed closure because we had done this over the phone. No matter who I talked to (and I have really good friends) I continued down a path that was not good for me and especially for him. My actions following the breakup have now caused irreparable damage. I did the one thing you are not supposed to do - I kept attempting to make contact for my closure. Not his, mine. It was as if I couldn't start to heal until a climactic ending had occurred. I couldn't let go. I feel like a horrible person. I am an objective person who learns from mistakes. This was so completely out of character for me. I only pray that in time he will be able to look back on the positive, the beautiful experiences we had. Is that even possible?

Really intersting thoughts and ideas.<br>I am curious about what you say in #4 & #5 -- feel like those 2 thing work against each other sometimes. I meet someone new and try not to be judgemental, but --as a friend recently pointed out to me -- the relationship usually winds up ending because of the reasons I saw right from the start. How do you know when to follow your intincts and when to be open minded? My friend just told me about this site — I think it's great! Really intersting thoughts and ideas.

1. Make decisions and never look back. I totally disagree. I think decision-making should take a lot of introspection and some deep thought. You want to make sure you are making the right decision and it's not easy to make the right decision quickly. Never looking back is bad advice too because I'd rather learn from my mistakes so that I never make them again.

3. Very true. It's a good way to live.

6. I think for some people saying NO more often would be better.

7. Goals are what determine my actions.

I enjoyed reading this, and yes I agree with the 'goals' aspect to life, I always feel better if I 'complete' something, I think I might try and finish the books I've started to read, at least then I can say I've read them, and might even give me a different perspective on life, thank you!
