It's Not You. It's Me.

I have a pattern that I can't seem to control. I want to love and be loved in return, but I'm afraid to do so. After so many people, you just have to ask yourself. Maybe it's me? There was this one, that one, that other one And the blame cannot fall strictly on them. When the people you love the most, the people that you hold dearest to you, cause you so much pain? It is hard to allow yourself to be set up for it once again, and I cannot make myself just let go. Regardless of what I do, that fear always takes over. Like it grabs me from the inside and says, " Not again girly," and causes me to push people away. Yet, by doing so. I am really causing myself so much heartache. Letting go, and allowing love in, or just simply giving someone the opportunity to break my heart, couldn't hurt any more than what I do to myself all the time. It is like my mind and my heart are at war, constantly struggling with each other, neither side giving an inch, tugging and pulling, refusing to let me have a moment's peace. I sit here alone, but it is my own choosing. I know I don't have to be, but the thought of not being alone terrifies me. I can handle the pain I bestow upon myself, and each time I feel myself loosening my grip. I always grab onto it just a little tighter, fearing that letting go will be my downfall. To hold on hurts, but to let go does as well. It is a battle I fight with myself constantly, and whatever it takes to conquer this. I am willing to try almost anything at this point. No one could possibly hurt me anymore than I do myself all the damn time. Figure me out, that is an impossible task. For, I haven't been able to accomplish that so far. No one has to break my heart; I do it before they even get the chance to. In my mind, I am helping them by pushing them away, because there is just something about me that causes people to act the way they do. So that lame excuse. It's not you...it's me...really is true in my case.

Andy

Dear Andy,

Once upon a time, you were everything to me. You were the only man I could see, the only one I wanted to be with. You were like my air. I couldn't live without you. I didn't want to be without you. I truly felt you were the other half of my soul. I dreamed of raising our babies together. I dreamed of rocking chairs on a porch watching our grandchildren play. I wanted to grow old with you by my side. I couldn't imagine my life you without you in it. Over time, things between us changed. They became dark. We fought constantly. I fell out of love with you....Now as I say this, I don't mean that I don't still have love for you. You will always be in my heart and I will always have love for you. I am just no longer in love with you. Anyway, you changed, Andy. When we met, you were a good guy. You became this half a man that I dont even recognize. You are a stranger to me now. I always thought you were my Prince Charming. You saved me, Andy. You made me believe in love again.....But at the same time, you took that away from me. You showed me that love is cruel and unkind. It is vindictive and jealous. Or at least that is how our love became....That isn't how it is supposed to be. I am writing this tonight, Andy, because I want you to know that you no longer have that power over my heart. You are no longer the air I breathe. Our memories are burned in to my mind and my heart But I can walk away now. Find the man you once were, Andy. Your kids deserve to know that man....Not the guy that you are now.

Your Wife,

Tasha

If you're going to fall in love with me, it's only fair that you know what you're falling in love with.

You are falling in love with my immaturity, my constant need to feel loved and appreciated,my overactive tear ducts, my internet obsession,my tendency to be a little too clingy.

You are falling in love with my sometimes filthy mouth, my insecurities, my temper and my attitude.

You fall in love with my troubled past,and my hopes and dreams,and how I'm a hopeless romantic at heart.

If you fall in love with me, you fall in love with all my imperfections and my perception that nobody could ever love me.

But, you are also falling in love with the way my eyes will smile when I'm with you,the way I'll text you in the mornings just trying to get you to wake up.

You're falling in love with the occasionally goofy and thought-provoking things I say,and the way I blush when people ask me about you.

But to me, the most important thing will be that you are falling in love with me...

The 1 a.m. Post

So it's a little after one and I'm still wide awake. "Why?",you ask. Because I can not seem to find the power switch to this brain of mine. It's always something anymore. Tonight, it's men. Not any that are currently in my life, or any that have ever been. Just men in general and what I need/ want in my next relationship. "Begging for trouble" ,you say. Yes, probaly. But if I don't figure out what I need/want, who is ever gonna know? Bear with me folks. I know I'm a little scatterbrained sometimes. This will probaly be one of those posts I go back and add to....just a thought.

 

1. He must have a job of some sort. Whether it be at Mcdonalds or the coal mine, a job is a must. Ps. Drug dealing or "Hustling" is not a job!  I say this not because I want someone to support me but because I want you to be able to support yourself.

 

2. He must like children. My babies are my everything. I don't want you to replace their

father, nor do I expect you to help raise them. I have that under control. But in order for me to be a part of your life, my children have to be a part of it as well.

 

3. He must have dreams, aspirations, goals even. He must want to do something with his life besides sit on the couch and drink beer.

 

4. He must be sincere and honest and not tell me things just because he thinks that is what I want to hear.

 

5. NO mama's boys!!!!!!! Please and thank you!

 

6. He must have hobbies and friends and intrests outside of our relationship. Yes, I should enjoy spending time with him but I also enjoy my alone time.

 

7. He must talk to his Mother with respect. If he doesn't respect the woman who made him, How can I expect him to have respect for me? Which leads me to #8

 

8. He should respect that I am my own person. I have my hobbies, my intrests, my friends, my ambitions, and my own dreams. 

 

9. He should want me to be a better person than I was..Not try to change me into something that he wants me to be but help me grow and learn and not bring me down.....

 

Hmmm....ok well thats all I have for the moment....To be continued.....lol

To The Man I Love

It wasn't until last week that I realized who you were. I had missed the tall tell signs of the comings and goings of your every day. The subtle hints left for me on the way out the door. The casual kiss upon the cheek and the nudge on the shoulder. I should have guessed that you had found something new to play with. I wonder what she looks like. I gathered from the notes left in you shirt pocket that she writes left-handed and that she dots her "I's" with precise dots.She seems prim and proper, minus the fact that she elaborates the reasons why she wants to fuck you. She's rather coarse in her speech. Something that you had never seemed to like in women before. But then again, who am I to judge? You had found me littered among the other girls. My eyes...That's what you had said. My eyes drew you in, beckoning for me to come forth and take you away to some special place. I laughed at your suggestions. You all but pinched my cheeks and told me that I was the girl you were looking for. You spoke in a fake Chicago accent, making me giggle because you seemed to have know I would melt under the sound. I did. I also melted when you touched me with your fingertips, tracing one cheekbone then the other. It felt soothing. I can still feel the electricity of our skin touching for the first time, as the rain pelted on the windows. It was early spring. My mind comes back though. The notes look like white leaves on our floor. The papers were from her own personal desk. They have her initials on them. She must work with you. Now I realize what the long hours were for, why you showered when came home. You didn't realize that I could still smell the hint of lavender even from your briefcase. But tonight - tonight will be different. You will realize that even though she tells you she wants to fuck you in every way imaginable, that she gets herself off during lunch hour after your meetings together and that you are actually still in love with me. That you still want me. I plan for an elegant dinner. Candlelight. A bit of jazz in the background. I will be wearing my hair down, the light from the candles will make it burn like fire. Your nice Oxford shirt will be my dress, along with the black thigh highs and heels that drive all men nuts. Dinner will be amazing. A fresh salad to begin with. Then the main course: steak. But we both know what is next - dessert. I have a wonderful dessert for you - served with love, devotion and a hint of lavender. Don't be surprised when you take the lid off....you shouldn't have kept them in your suit jacket.

Choices

I have faith that I am capable of anything. Beyond that, I have faith that I will achieve my pie-in-the-sky dreams. I will be with my soul mate. I will become enlightened. These aren't so much ifs to me as whens or hows. This understanding goes beyond rational thought. I don't have any logical basis for these conclusions, I guess it is just something I foresee as a natural consequence of life. I have wanted to become enlightened for longer than I knew there was a word for it. I wanted to become enlightened for all the wrong reasons. So that I could be overwhelmingly happy all the time. So that I could achieve all my goals. So that I could help people and have respect and admiration. More recently, so that I could be at peace with myself. I realized that the root of my unhappiness for so many years is the disconnection between what I intend and what I am. I have all these ideas of how I want to change my life, who I want to be, what I want to have. I want a meaningful romantic relationship with a man who loves me for me. I want to bring peace to everybody I meet. I want to create a beautiful piece of litetature. I want to be hard working, centered, brilliant. I want to be healthy and strong of body and mind. And yet, I have failings aplenty. So the first thing I did was to stop worrying so much about what I wanted to be. That just left me with what I am. I had an epiphany that my thoughts are not my own. Put another way, I am not just my thoughts. For a long time, I thought that my conscious mind was the root of all existence. Instead, it is just an aspect of the real mind, and a minor one at that. I thought that enlightenment lied in the conscious mind. Maybe it does I can't ignore any aspect of my experience. It is all valid. So I am not just my thoughts, I am not just my ideal image of myself, I am not just my future or my past. I am just me now here, no escaping that. Not only do I have to live with that, I have to embrace that. Right after my epiphany, I was me for a couple days, just me. I liked it, but it faded away. So now I have my dilemma which I have been fighting for years and have yet to triumph over. Free will or determinism. It doesn't matter, because I have a choice. I have a choice. Why do I do what I do? So often, it isn't what I think I want to do. So where does the choice come from? Is my mind in conflict? Is it out of control? I don't know. I don't care. I can be mindful of my choices. If I am mindful, I always do what I intend. Why have I spent so many years doing otherwise? Am I afraid that I am wrong in my belief of what I intend? Can this even be thought about? I don't care. I'm going to be mindful. I know how. I can do it. Thats it.

Love Versus Attraction

This is a conversation I had on messenger today with one of my guy friends.......Made me think alot.....:D Thought I would share. Him- "What do you think love is?" -me- " Depends, what type we talking here?" - "All types. Is there really a difference?" -me- " You are such a man. Of course. You don't love your family the same way you would love a lover." - " Ok then. Say you were "in" love... how do you define it?" -me- "Well considering you COULD define it I would have to say....................... love is allowing another to care for you unconditionally without rules or boundaries and in turn being allowed to do so." - " I guess. I don't know I always saw love as that fire, you know?" -me- " That's not love, thats attraction. Granted I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't invest fully into a relationship unless its got the passion to keep you there. But fire, lust, passion? Its all attraction. It's seeing something interesting and alluring in another's personality or character. And in that case, can you love without attraction or even attract and love differently? Or is it all love?" - "You girls think way to much about this stuff." -me- " Listen I can have my night of great sex without attachment just as any guy but, its never really unattached. There is always something that sparks that desire. And its not a girl thing though I can speak for my kind in saying it is over-thought, Its human nature. Personality. Attraction. What causes someone to love another? I'm the first to admit to being a hard core romantic in a relationship... but in my recent thoughts I found its all scientific. There is no romance. That's all for fairy tales and living happily ever after." - " And now??? Is it still all down to a science? Or could an optimist still hope for the possibility that somewhere, someone is getting their fairytale? " -me- (sighs) "Well, I may not be living happily ever after, but...... I haven't given up on my fairy tale or my Prince Charming. Not yet at least. I guess I am just waiting for my heart to prove my head wrong." So boys and girls, Tell me....How do YOU define love? How do you define attraction? Just wondering where your heads are at. Love Ya.
