I Have You To Thank
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You know how you can reflect on your past dating experiences and suddenly realize you actually survived that person? I was listening to my latest musical crush: Gavin DeGraw swoon His song I Have You To Thank made me really appreciate my dating past.
It has not all been sunshine and rainbows, let me tell you. There have been moments when I felt heartbreak that made me truly wonder: WHAT WAS I THINKING? I know you have all been there, right?
Here’s the thing: If I did not go through all those good and bad times, I would not have the best parts of me, flaws and all. I was left with so many gifts of personal growth, reality checks, and lessons. I am thankful to a few good men (and a couple of douchebags) for all of it.
Who do you have to thank for your dating lessons? What personality changes did you undergo after dealing with a particular person? Did you become more patient and understanding?
Although the knuckleheads annoy us, they still teach us a little bit more about ourselves. What tough lesson did you learn after dealing with the jerks?
Have you ever dated someone that called you out (in a good way) and taught you a better way to handle things?
