Reality Bites...

So, it's been a while - two years I believe - since I graced this site with my poetics lines about life, love, and pain. The Diplomatic Fashionista inspired me, and the loss of a good friend has prompted me to step out here again. Older and wiser and with so many things going on in my life, I have to take a second to pause and recognize how precious life is. As we all fumble around in the darkness, loving and laughing and crying, others are entering a light brighter than any ever spoken of because it is the light of God calling our loved ones home. My friend Sam was a beautiful person, so full of life and energy and man! could that girl SANG. But God called her home. My prayers and heart go out to her and her family. I knew that woman for almost fifteen years. She was a beautiful soul and I am glad to have known her at all. She spoke positivity and love into everyone.

So this brings me to the realization and topic for today.
Reality Bites my friends. But all we can do is accept it and love it for what it is and love all the people for who they are.

Sounds easier said than done. I have to remind myself of this often as I seem to keep tripping into very interesting relationships with guys who really just aren't worth the time of day. I found myself in this situation recently. We'll call him Blazer Boy. Said all the right things and I got all caught up in the yummy goodness. Turns out behind that well dressed facade, hid an asshole. Yes, a wolf in sheep's clothing had slipped into my yard created havoc and then got BUSTED in his lie and had to get told what he really was. What's so sad, is that the lie was completely unnecessary. He could have just told the truth. But he chose, and perhaps it was because he didn't want to lose me. But really, why do you think you get to make that decision, Blazer Boy? But that's okay. This is just proof that what happens in the dark comes to light. So you might as well tell the truth up front.

But my heart was broken nonetheless.

Reality Bites.

But we rebound, and that's what's beautiful about us humans. We can go through loss and horrible, heartbreaking relationships and emerge even better and even wiser. To Blazer Boy, I hope you pull yourself together and finally turn into the good man you purport to be. Or at least I hope you can be honest with yourself and the women you encounter. If you're a wolf, be a wolf.

To Samantha...you were a light in the life of everyone you knew. Continue to shine on us from heaven. We will continue to live beautifully and positively just for you.
