Reposting—An Oldie But Goodie

Rewiring

Why is it that I look for (and expect now) the most challenging situations to engage in?

The mind continues to search for the comfort of the familiar. The heart follows suit and breaks in the same patterns, but more pieces, than the previous time. Why don’t we learn from the past and pay attention to the flags? No one is perfect, but there are certainly some that are sweeter than others. When that sweet one comes around, are we re-wire-able? Can we learn to accept the sweet when we are so used to the challenging?

There is a lovely tale of the person who gives too much.

“……She is kind beyond your worth because she sees in you what you cannot. She gives you more than most have or will, not because she wants a return, but because she respects you and thinks you deserve it. She is not naïve, she has been hurt badly before. Regardless, she gives her love fully. But, when she’s decided that the traits she thought she saw in you aren’t there anymore? She will turn and walk away, wishing the best for you but knowing there’s also better for her………”

But……if there’s a sweet one who appreciates her and cares for her, can she accept them? What does that scenario look like when she’s used to walking away?

I still believe in the partners. I believe in the happiness that comes from taking care of someone because you want to, not HAVE to. I believe in the inside jokes and the secret ass grabbing.

Getting someone. Them getting you back.

I also know that there is no greater feeling, almost super power like, than someone beside you that cares as much for your success and smile as you do for theirs.

Do not ever be ashamed to love with all that you are. Give 110% and be proud that you do it.

Some day, and it’s coming, you will feel it coming back to you.❤️

Hello and welcome to a safe place to let go, a respite of sorts, a place to just be you. I have 52 years of experience on this beloved Earth. Raised in a nuclear white Catholic family, became a nurse, married, mother of 3, divorced, remarried and now single...I've been through some things and I'm still here. It hasn't always been pretty, and rarely easy, but I am proud of my children and the life that I have made. Come inside and let me share with you. I hope that you feel the "real" and maybe share some of you with me and all of your new friends in this space. My only requirement is that you are respectful to others as we all have something(s) we are dealing with. Love and hugs to you all, Stace
