Wow, this is a lovely throwback. 
While I was sorting through posts I figured I'd provide an even better update for this. I'll keep it brief, though. I have an updated success story that goes into more detail here.  http://veronicaloa.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=8900

Now that shameless self promotion is over, here we go!

Things with the original POI and the other one I mentioned here are done for good. I learned that neither person or the situations were worth the work, they felt like work. That isn't love, that isn't good for you at all. 

After a long, sometimes tough journey of self-reflection, I met a new person. He is perfect for me. Everything I have ever scripted came true with him.

While it is possible to get the ex/sp, it isn't always worth it.
Never settle for amything that doesn't make you happy. 

Thanks for the update. And I do agree that we must never settle. We are creators. Why should a creator settle when they can have exactly what they want?
