Exactly.

I know that smart, gorgeous girls exist, because I've been going out with one for the past 2 years. She's amazing because she defies any single, simple category. While she's beautiful enough to run with the shallow, insecure pack (Whom we both mockingly refer to as "THEM"), she chooses me. She's always accepted me for who I was, and tried to find interest in the things I was into. It was always cool to bring her to deathmatches we'd have in my office after work, or to game and computer conventions. She'd find stuff she was interested in, and that would give us common ground. And that's far better than any relationship I've ever been in. She's more than my girlfriend, she's a great friend, too.

I know that my GF isn't the only one in the world like this. Sometimes if we keep our eyes open, we just might find that we have a chance with some of the ones we think we wouldn't stand a chance with.

They seem so hard to find - I mean, it's hard enough to find someone we get along with and have stuff in common with, much less find attractive. It always seems like we have to trade one for the other. But believe me, finding this one makes it all worthwhile. We just have to be patient, and not let our cynicism get the best of us.

We just can't sell ourselves short because of all our failures in the past. We must uncondition ourselves from believing that we are not good enough for certain people. That's the work of the insecure, who pushed their insecurities on us. Now we have their disease. Insecurity breeds insecurity. Unless we choose to break the chain right now. We ARE good enough.
