Don't give up

Don't give up on yourself finding your prince charming. It took what seemed forever to find my prince and he was worth waiting for and he thinks I'm his princess. Good things in life are worth waiting for. Don't be discouraged.

Calm Down

Calm down. You sound desperate. Maybe the person you're looking for is not a prince. Maybe he's charming and thoughtful and caring and will become your Prince Charming. Remember the frog that was kissed and turned into a prince ( or something like that). It can happen to you. Take it easy Miss Desperate and perhaps it will happen for you. Good Luck!

Stop beating yourself

Stop beating yourself up. Aren't you being a bit hard on yourself? How long have you been alone. You act as though you are desperate. Are you? Relax, enjoy and let yourself breathe. The right person will come along. Maybe you're trying too hard. Maybe you're putting a false presentation of yourself out there when you are at a club. Too much pressure. Your job is stressful? This probably means you're in a high salaried position. Be grateful you have a job with obvious status. You must be well respected. Start respecting yourself and look up to the future...not behind you.

I believe that you are a product of your environment. If you hate your job, chances are you will hate yourself. Get out of the negative situations you have put yourself in, and take control of your life! You have a choice in where your life takes you.

I haven't been sleeping. I was never a great sleeper but it's getting worse.

I'm overworked and underslept. I toss and turn and lie awake for hours. It's 2 a.m.and I'm still awake. It seems to be a pattern for me. Deep down, I know the reasons. I'm constantly on a schedule and I feel like I am failing myself.

I've tried so hard to stop. I meet the wrong people, I have a high stress job, and I can't seem to lose the extra weight that I put on — and I've never been on a diet in my life before until recently.

I don't want to go to sleep because I don't want to wake up and feel like a failure one more day. It's like Groundhog Day for me. I wake up looking like I got run over by a truck and drag myself to work. I love my job, but it's intense.

I get home late after a long day at the office, class, or a workout when I have time. I catch up on my personal life and attempt to go to bed. And then it happens again — I can't sleep. Is this what I should expect for the rest of my life?

Why do I set such high expectations for myself? Have I over-promised and under-delivered? My fairy tale ended and there was no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Maybe we need to stop thinking that every story is supposed to have a happy ending. Maybe we need to stop telling ourselves that there is such thing as Prince Charming. Maybe we need to stop thinking that things should be a certain way. Or maybe we just need to realize that we are the masters of our own destiny. Maybe our happily ever after is going to be different than what we expected.

And just maybe that's not so bad.
