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.

Oh, sweet blog - how I've neglected thee. :( I have a great reason tho - LIFE . I found one...it was buried under some of my Vans, like 2 Coach bags & an old swiss roll (go figure) *smile* But - I do need to blog. So here's my promise. Starting Sept. 1st, I will blog EVERYDAY - even if it's just one word/sentence. I have so much to say, but I need to sort my thoughts out.. I should have it done by then. xoxo
