And can you tell me was it worth it?

One of the last conversations I had with my dad was about my then-boyfriend. It was mid-January and I was on the verge of breaking up with him and just needed some advice from my dad. And even though I was in tears for half the conversation, I cherish it. A couple days later, he called to check up on me; it was rare for my dad to call since he hated phones. He passed on a couple weeks later.

This weekend that dumb boy texted me some words he shouldn't have, which made me mad all day yesterday. I shouldn't have let it get to me, but it really made me upset. The whole boy thing lately has just been stupid, and I wish dad were here to help me make sense of it all. I'm annoyed with how men treat women. How women somehow get the notion they're not good enough and think that's why men don't pay attention to them, even though that's the farthest thing from actuality (that's for you, S.). How men seem to expect women to go beyond their boundaries or faster than they want (That's for D.). How men think they can just call or text you and expect you to do something for them that they know you shouldn't (and that's for M.). How this whole dating thing works (And that's for all of this dumb town). Proverbs 31:10 states that the price of a virtuous woman is "far above rubies," but I'm beginning to wonder who can find a virtuous man, for his price is far above diamonds, or so it would seem. At least I'm having a rough time finding one, and so are many of my wonderful friends.

Sorry for the rant. If my dad were around, you would've been spared. But he's not, so I'm left to rant to the void. I'm sure there are some wonderful men out there who are shocked at how women are treated sometimes. If you know of any, pass on their info... ;)

Miss you, dad.
