And looking.<\/p>\n<p>And searching.<\/p>\n<p>And looking.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never put the reason why I was doing it out there for GenPop to digest, although I&#8217;ve told people in one on one conversations in private. I don&#8217;t make excuses for my actions because, well, I was a piece of shit of the highest order for that. I was young but that did not give me free license to hurt people the way I did back then. My karma \u00a0made sure to come through and crush the buildings though.<\/p>\n<p>Having been through that phase in my life and coming to a realization at a pretty young age *I was 18 when I got a slap in the face from the reality god* that has caused me to be cautious in my dealings with women most times. I&#8217;ve been called aloof, seemingly uninterested, and other things along those lines. I apologize for that. It&#8217;s not you, it&#8217;s me most times. I do it to protect both of us.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no real point to this post. It&#8217;s the result of a conversation I had this morning with someone I love very much as a person that told me &#8220;I don&#8217;t feel safe around you because you understand me and I know that you would never abuse my trust. And that makes me want you even more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been where you are right now.

I stepped back to allow you to grow as a person so you can that you CAN do it on your own, especially after all the years of people taking from you and not replenishing.
