As a poet, I've had my heart broken several times and each time it has taken a year or more to heal. I've been seriously hurt but yet somehow, I've always managed to get back on that horse. I've found it far better for bonding where that person does come along.
Dating is never easy.We have to go through so many wrongs to get to the right....
Courage is falling off the horse and getting back on anyway.
I've enjoyed reading this blog very much. You sound like a very well grounded man who has a good head on his shoulders, and is a dedicated and loving father. Good for you! I'm proud of you!
There is indeed a key and I'm glad that you've noticed that it does indeed exist.
For some women it can be something as a simple poem to unlock her heart.To others it can be a kind, genuine word and empathy.Sometimes it can be as simple as asking her what is the key to her heart.Skeleton keys may be universal, but they aren't one size fits all and they do have consequences if used roughly. Each woman who is as unique as our own fingerprints- is an original.
I think the reason that women act the way they do with you is because they really can't believe that they have a good thing with you. Sometimes it can scare them or puzzle them and sometimes there are the ones who are foolish and let you go.
If you are dating young women, be aware of this- many of them at your age do not know what they want out of life, so like bees they go from one flower to another, hoping for pollination or to meet up with other bees. Give them a few years to live and learn about themselves and about life and before you know it, they'll be buzzing around you!
Hope this helps. You seem like a splendid young man.
I understand well what you are going through. I still have my moments where I trip and fall and add a new bruise to the collection. Sometimes my sight goes fuzzy and I have trouble finding words and remembering simple math problems.
While feeling sorry for myself, I realized that I'm not all that bad off. These feelings that we have are in trying to sort things out.I think it's normal, but I'm not sure. I had an MRI on my brain last year and nothing of significance was found either- with the exception of some sinus inflammation. I suppose it didn't help that I had a sinus infection when the MRI was taken.
Our brains are remarkable things. Just because we have glitches and hiccups, maybe it's a reminder that we are human beings after all. You are not alone in this journey, Dear Friend.
You have the right attitude and now that you've done what you've set out to do, now it is time to search for love. If only other men could read your words and heed your advice. Here is a hug in friendship
Very well written, bajanblue. I've walked in such a a pair of similar moccassins as yours, though when I much younger and in college.
We all go through a bad financial period at least once in our lives. It's not bad or evil or shameful. It's misfortunate. If we're lucky and put our noses to the grindstone, we can get out of it. If not, we rely on friends and family until we can get back on our feet again. You've come along and you're doing well.
How is wee "Furball" coming along and did "Pumpkin Head" give the wee one anymore grief?
There's nothing wrong with having a career and wanting to do good things for your man. I did it for 15 years and it wasn't good enough for him! (his loss and a big one. Maybe, hopefully maybe the next man in my life will appreciate such things)
Do what you feel is right and you'll be/do just fine. Good luck!
