It is crazy how similar we are. I never had the courage to have a "summer of me" between relationships, although at times i wish I would have so maybe I would have figured myself and my life out a lot sooner, but luckily I found a girl who had the patience to be with me until I could sort my heart, head & life out. Now I can see that everyone must be able to stand on their own 2 feet and be happy with themself & in themself before they can make any of their or their partners dreams come true. :)
