Do you mean my crappy, half-assed, practically non-existent past “love life”? Or my boring, lackluster, non-love-life of late?

I’m thankful things didn’t work out with those other guys. I’m thankful that I know, and have found, happiness in my single life — if you can be happy alone, you will lead a very fulfilling life regardless of how you spend it or who you spend it with. I’m eternally grateful for the friendships I’ve built and harbored throughout my life with some amazingly talented, creative, intelligent and beautiful women, who’ve been by my side through the highest points in my life, and also the lowest, and who’ve become more like family and feel more like home than ever before. I’m more appreciative of my family. I understand our relationships better because of failed relationships with others. I’m genuinely excited by the prospects my life holds.

How has it changed me? It’s only made me more distinctly aware of how awesome I am. ;) But mostly, it’s made me realize that I’m the kind of person that is shaped positively by both the good and bad things I’ve endured through in my life, because I make the choice to. You wanna be happy? Then make the choice to be. Take anything and anyone out of your life that doesn’t afford you the option to (otherwise, you’re not affording yourself the option — you’re the only person standing in your way).

That’s it. I’m sure this answer will change in time, but I don’t have a better one now.
