shame on me - no, shame on you.

"If someone tells you who they are, believe them." Maya Angelou


I don't think I've fully embraced that quote until now. A person is always going to present who they are & what they're about - and sometimes, they don't even realize it. It can be in a joke..or maybe a story told about another person. Somehow, someway - they let you know EXACTLY where they stand. I can be honestly enough and say that I have gotten caught up.. I have found myself believing that my bullshit meter is in working order and that NOTHING can get past me. Yeah- THAT didn't work out so well. So, here I sit...writing this blog with a heavy heart & confused spirit. I have a bad habit of wanting to rescue people..and somewhere along the way, I forget to save the most important person - me. I give people way too many chances...way too many opportunities to mistreat & destroy my heart. I put their feelings & wants before my own - and even when they quack LOUD as day, I refuse to believe they are a duck.

Yes - I had to put it up again. I need to see this..need to feel it in my soul and heed it's warning.

bitter but better.

So this morning, I received the quintessential " It's not you, it's me" break-up EMAIL. Yes, lovelies, I said email. I got an email because " I didn't want any problems such as you walking off or something like that". *insert cricket noise here* Lemme just start by saying that I am in NO way trying to portray that I was completely innocent - quite the contrary, actually. I have my ways that have driven even the strongest person to pick up the bottle and hold it close to their souls. I did my part in the demise of this "relationship". Mr. Noah Webster defines relationship as " a romantic or passionate attachment." - neither of with ( in retrospect) - we had. Don't get me wrong, people - I loved her...wait. I love her. Yet - love is not the glue that binds . There is also communication, trust, honesty, and a willingness to BEND. These, lovelies are the things that were non-existent on one or both ends. I'm not going to disclos...

...untitled for a reason...

And you taught me what this feels like. And then how it feels to lose it. And you showed me who I wanted. And then who I wasn’t. And you ticked every box. And then drew a line. And you weren’t mine to begin with. And then not to end with. And you looked like everything I wanted. And then became something I hated. And you get thought of every day. And then not in a good way. And you let me leave. And then wish I’d stayed. And you almost killed me. But I didn’t die.

[insert clever title here]

Yeah I know - I've been gone. I don't know... I think when I have too many things going on in my head, I retreat. yeah...that sounds about right. Anyway, I have a headache - and I don't feel like getting into a long thing about why. I did wanna post something, tho.. so here it is. Have a good night, lovelies xoxo It’s not okay that you hurt me, but I am okay. I deserve more, and I know that now. And maybe you knew that inside, that you couldn’t give me that yet. So you set me free. We would’ve been so great, you would never have wished for more than I would’ve given you. But you never gave it a chance. So now you’ll never know what could’ve been. Maybe someday you’ll regret it, maybe someday you’ll think it was the best decision you ever made, but maybe someday you’ll see me walking, smiling and happy, alongside someone who’s also smiling and happy because they has my heart. Maybe then you’ll stop and realize what you’re missing, because someday, someone is going to thank ...
