Wanting more - self respect

I  start to realize  as time elapses, I start learning from my experiences. Perhaps, I finally reached the pint where I had enough? I confess feeling numb at times as if I don't care as much. I obviously care as I speak of it: my past relationship. Though I will confess feeling confused as what are my true feelings. I seem to come to the acknowledgement that I want more and won't settle for less. I want to be respected.
