I'm pretty sure I was on the road to someone making an attempt to scam me.
Gullible - silly - if it's too good to be true, then it is.
I met this guy on line and he was believable - wait, no he really wasn't - I just wanted to believe. Here I am talking about the joys of independence and the first guy with flowery phrases and talking about destiny that comes along, and I put aside common sense and questions and go for it.
I mean, I did question and I did do some research, but I still did not listen to my insides saying "wait a minute here - really?". So for the first time in 10 years, I felt hope. You know, that little feathery thing that sits on your shoulder. Hope is insidious, it creeps up on you. It gives a bounce to your step, and it gets the insides quivering.
So, I thought - cool. Someone that has the potential of caring - I should have known better. But, I didn't. And now he is blocked, all safeguards are up, and I'm not devastated. I'm not happy about it, but I'm not down. I've learned a valuable lesson.
That even if the person I thought might care - well, he helped me to care about myself again. A true gift. I awoke and am more alive. Even if nothing ever happens with anyone who is real, even if those possibilities are forever closed to me - I am here, I am alive, I have hope for a fuller life. Even if that life is alone.
So, don't fall for a scammer that preys on lonely women - or lonely men for that matter. But take it to heart that you are valuable, that you are worthy of love, that there is hope - - - - -
