The Parade of the Ex's

So it's finals week, and like a good amount of my college age friends out there, instead of studying all that I possibly can, Facebook started calling my name.  For what reason? I have no idea. 

Here is the thing about my Facebook though...it is diverse every time I get on it.  I have over 775 friends on there, yet I can tell you where and how I met each and every one of them.  I guess that comes with being what is known as a connector (more to come on that at a later date).

But anyway, I rarely delete people, and my page acts in such a way that every time I pull it up, my news feed is full of different people, in no certain order.

Well tonight, it is all full of ex-boyfriends, or just guys that I dated in the past.
That in itself does not bother me, because I am actually not on bad terms with all but a couple of them. 

But as I kept scrolling through my feed looking for someone I hadn't been romantically involved with in the past, I began to wonder what it was that had been so attractive about them to me.  What was it about them that made me make a bad decision or mistrust their character.

I began to realize that while they all had something that I liked or was attracted to, none of them were right for me.  They all had something about them that was a "deal breaker," something that made us unfit to be together. 

While I regret some of those past experiences, I can't lie and say that there weren't moments that I enjoyed.  and each one of those guys taught me something different about myself, and about the kind of man I would want my husband to be. 

So thank you, dumb boys, for allowing me to know what to aviod, and for unintentionally teaching me how to be more discerning.  Thanks for showing me that I should never settle. 

Love and Luck on Finals,
