I am only now getting to a place where I can see him (often with his new woman) and not fall into an internal pit of quivering goo. Loving is dangerous to the heart when it doesn't work out. We had 23 years, I was lucky in that. And I'd rather have loved him so passionately and completely, than to have never loved him at all...I think. Most of the time anyway.MysticBlueRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206959063908087622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-61767028279770296502014-01-27T15:13:59.084-08:002014-01-27T15:13:59.084-08:00Debra, you know I know what you're talking abo...Debra, you know I know what you're talking about ... and yes, the initial feeling, for me, too, is to self-protect, to shut down, to hide, to play safe. <br /><br />And yet ... the pain from having done so, the pain that comes with numbing down, is worse than the pain of risking pain.<br /><br />I don't know if I'd ever give up ... I haven't yet.

We come to believe that no one out there cares one whit about our intrinsic self. So we bundle our "selves" up and we hide them away. The few times we have dared to share that self has gotten us slam dunked. It's safer not to want that which one cannot have.

I understand the "being taken care of" and the conscious effort of "learning to take care of oneself." I am also at a place where the self is saying, make a decision.

It's so strange. It's almost like I have had a mini-stroke in the compartment of my brain related to food :) Part of my problems are that my allergies to wheat gluten and now dairy are making the food turning circle smaller and smaller. So I cried because I felt overwhelmed about organising food to eat for the week. So I totally understand the "I might just cry now" regarding toilet paper and such sundry things. <br /><br />I think there are a lot of stresses on our bodies, especially women's, with the amount of crap in the air and in the environment messing with our hormones. Sometimes it seems *right* to get upset at such small things ... but then I love what you say about then turning it around and laughing at it because you can. I am in the process of learning how to do it. It's sort of hard to learn ... and a wonderful weapon to have in your arsenal. An admirable quality that you have, Ms D :)<br /><br />Enjoyable post as always.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-29489090243190027122013-02-05T19:34:32.671-08:002013-02-05T19:34:32.671-08:00And yet His words to you were so profound!!!
