yes, we sometimes tend to lose ourselves, and become almost what someone else wants us to be – where the mask is what is known, and we ourselves, hiding beneath it, wait… and wait… and when we start coming out, well then, thats not who they want… they want the us that we moulded our ownselves into, because thats what we thought they wanted… no more i say!!!

I recognize this. Since I was 18 I have always found myself in relationships. It seems so natural to play the role of girlfriend. But after going into one relationship after the other, I felt so drained and started to take this out on the poor fellas. One time I almost panicked and realized I needed space. Now, in Cape Town I am really taking this time to discover who I am and what I want. So when I do go into a relationship next time, I will be there for the right reasons.

Eighteen months sounds like a healthy time to be alone after all of those different experiences. Chapters one through six were you learning about yourself and about the world in a way, and after chapter six I think that a year and a half alone was probably precisely what you needed to learn to appreciate yourself for who you are and learn to make wiser choices or at least ones that hurt you less.
