Give yourself a Present
Dec. 21st, 2014 08:54 amOne of the many valuable lessons my mother passed on to me was "Be nice to yourself. You can't expect other people to read your mind and then feel all neglected because you didn't get what you wanted."
There's really no reason to sit around wishing you had The Thing and bemoaning that your life doesn't have that Perfect Person in it who can "prove their love" by somehow magically reading your mind. Be nice to yourself. No one knows exactly what you really want but you. Go get The Thing and wrap it up, if you like, so you can open a present that is exactly what catches your fancy and warms your heart. You're worth it.
