If you ever find the balance… don’t let it out of your sight and shoot up a flare so we can find it too, okay!?!

Enjoying your blog…

Some days your blog is all i need. I to feel the same thing about funerals i just can not do them unless they are family or really close people I have a hard time with them. I liked your attitude at the end because I am trying to look at the light at the end of the tunnel but while i’m doing that i’m missing everything that is so damn cool in the tunnel. I’m trying to figure out my emtions and my hurt that has taken over my body and heart. I’m wishing that i had someone to just tell me what i need to do in life because it would be so easy just to say yeah i can do that. But here i sit with the decision that will change my life forever and i think is this what I want and then i think…… HELL YEAH this is what I want and this is what I need that is the selfish part of me but my girls deserve to have their mom back the person that wiped away their tears not the person that they wipe away her tears. Okay off my soap box thanks for listening/reading

Today does bite. I don’t know what it is. Wish I’d gotten the memo so I could’ve prepared better. I would have had a lot more narcotics readily available just for the occasion.

I’m so there with you. I don’t think I ever have dated just jumped right in to a long term relationship. If you figure it out let me know because I missed those classes also. I just seem to have two kids with two guys and do not want to continue the cycle. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hmm. You’re basically describing my mindset, when I was with the “sure thing” guy, the safe, steady, reliable one with a good job and solid family. I couldn’t stop thinking of the other one, the one who cheated on me and broke my heart, the one whose family was all fucked up and who seemed emotionally closed-up… but he was interesting and funny and earnest and seemed willing to change.

And so I gave the ring back to the sure thing, laid down some serious ground rules, and got married to the dangerous one. Two kids and almost eight years later, I can’t regret it. I think of the sure thing as a near-miss, and of Willem as a hell of a lot of work but worth it.

Oh how i wish i had some magic words for you. I can say that I can kinda understand about some of what you are saying. I had a person in my life that to this day I still think about. I knew that what we had was real because we never were intimate physically just emtionally and mentally. I wish i knew how to get him off my miind but he continues to enter my head from now and then. Although I know that him and I will never be. He has chosen a different way of life then I have chosen. I’m sorry you are aching and I”ll keep you in my prayers. I wish i had the magic words but you know me i can’t even get out of my situation all the way at the moment.
