We both tried with utmost diligence in relationships, never quite finding the perfect match. We had the common goal within our separate searches: “If you can’t find that person, then be that person.” We worked hard to be the partners we thought we deserved in life.

Dooley Noted: 6/10/2016 I have been told from a very young age to do well by others. Somewhere along the way, I heard, “Do for others.” Whenever they did not return my devotion, I was left with overwhelming disappointment. Then I realized after college that I needed to do well by others because it made ME feel good. I tapped into an endless sea of devotion. Now, when I … Read more
