    If only everyone’s resumes were this truthfull and wonderful :)
    I loved the objective!

  5. that was brilliant.

  6. That was fucking brilliant. But my favorite part was:
    “to work in a friendly, loving and gentle environment that gives ample opportunity to breathe, and to grow, and to be able to fulfill my full potential”
    because that describes both what I want not just in a relationship, but from life in general.
    Kudos. Major kudos.

    Wow….*boggle*
    Thank you so much everyone for your great comments! When I put this up, it just seemed like a silly thing that I did because I couldn’t think of anything really constructive to say. I think I got the idea from somewhere, but I can’t imagine now where it would have been. I must have poured more of myself into it than I was thinking I had, but for that, I am glad. There were some things that needed to be said. :kissy:

    Dang it. My first comment got ruined.
    Tricia… that is a dear john letter if ever i saw one.
    I am amazed at your writing abilities…the fact that time and time again you bear your heart and your feelings here in an effort to rise above all “this”. You are a brave brave lady….and I love you.
    Keep growing and becoming the person you’re destined to be.
