Indeed.  You and I have special qualities that other people cannot deny, ignore, or help but envy. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nPeople like us must triumph over a (usually alcohol fueled) series of bad choices and achieve great successes by failing upwards.  It makes regular looking people have faith that they too can make something out of lives.  Look at Mickey Rourke for god&#8217;s sake! <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nSelf-Reflection might seems like a good idea but there&#8217;s a nasty side that people don&#8217;t really talk about: it can make you feel bad about yourself.  And that&#8217;s the pits.  But, then you can brag to people about what great perspective you have, and how in tune you are with your emotions.  And that&#8217;s good.  So it&#8217;s challenging.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nI think you can find romance in the person who appreciates you for exactly who you are.  Find someone with whom you share a mutual love and admiration for you.  You&#8217;ll have something in common right off the bat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nSincerely,<br \/>\nPoor Luck Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poor Lucky Me, &nbsp; There\u2019s nothing \u201cdear\u201d about me or my story, so I\u2019ll spare us both the formalities.\u00a0 Mine\u2019s a story heard all too often and never with a happy ending.\u00a0 The headlong rush toward self-destruction and romance too often taken through a bottle of whiskey and a dash false-modesty sometimes culminates in a &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/attractive-person-faces-adversity-tuesday-november-17th\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Attractive Person Faces Adversity &#8211; Tuesday November 17th&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1263"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1277,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1263\/revisions\/1277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
