She bends but she's breakable

 She feels everything you don't say but she doesn't trust her feelings or instincts anymore. Too many people have misused her and confused her feelings and instincts to the point that she needs words and actions in order to confirm one or the other.

People say not to trust words trust actions but when you are in her world, you can see how your actions confuse her. She needs words and actions in order to prove the reality.

She feels everything so deeply that the slightest cut goes deep into her heart. You have to be careful with her, she could bleed out right in front of you. When she loves, she loves to the point of pain every time you walk away or hang up the phone. A deep physical pain that brings tears to her eyes.

As deeply as she loves, she hurts. Be careful with her, a scratch to you is a cut too deep for stitches to her.

She doesn't NEED anyone, she put an end to that decades ago. But you created within her a need so deep that she is always waiting for the next text, call or visit. She's impatient, she's not ok with waiting, it takes too long. 

She's flexible, bending in compromise to keep you happy. Be careful, it'll be easy to bend her into a person different than who she really is and that person is who you love.

She feels everything as though it has happened directly to her so don't allow her to watch too much news, it'll consume her. Sometimes others need her too much and she doesn't know how to break free and say no because she cares so deeply. Don't punish her, take her away from the situation.

When she's unable to speak for herself, speak for her, don't condemn her. She's unable to speak up to you as well, protect her even from yourself. Shield and protect her but don't smother her flame. When it burns out, she's lost and can't find her way.

Love her but love her carefully and intentionally. You will never have experienced love for you as deep as you will receive from her, just be open to receive it.

I Will Find Me

Who am I? On my own, without you, who am I? I used to know who I was and who I wanted to be, but then, you blew into my life so hard and fast my head is still spinning after how many years...I try to take inventory of myself, you know, keep myself in check and the right course. But somehow, at some point, I lost my direction. Not in every aspect in life, I do have to keep living. But, I've noticed that I don't know who I am without you anymore. I've realized that every thought I have about movement in my life, you intrude and I try to figure out how you would want me to move. Kind of like playing chess and waiting for your opponent to tell you what your next move should be. Well, I do not want to wait and guess and wonder for someone to direct my footsteps. I am independent at my core, I always have been and always desire to be so. I've needed another before, someone that I allowed to tell me the next move, someone I sought out for most everything in my life whether g...

Deadlines...termination dates...expirations...

 So, I've had my head in a place lately...end of story type place. I wonder, what would I do if I was given an expiration date? Like, "you have until June 30th to do everything, then you will wake up in Heaven, never to be on Earth again" type expiration date. This comes up because recently, I was told that I had maybe 6 months left with my mom. My head started spinning once the conversation was over. What do I need her to know? What do I need to know from her? What do I do to prepare for this? Can I even do anything to prepare for it? I started doing things that are not at all wise things to do in this situation. You see, when my depression is heavy, I call mom. When my anxiety threatens my day, I call mom. When something exciting happens, I call mom. You get the point, right? So, I thought to myself one day, "Chris, you're going to have to get used to not calling mom, so you might as well start now". So, I called mom, almost daily still, but not for my ...

I Choose....TO LIVE

Choices. This word can be a very painful and all consuming word.  My life has been overwhelmed with choices since July, 2019. My 19 year marriage ended and brought with it so very many decisions. Then, of course, the 2020 pandemic has caused even more choices to be made. I do not deal well with confronting emotions and working through them or talking about them or feeling them. I REALLY do not like emotions. I like to keep them safe and secure in the boxes in my head. But throughout this past 18 months (that seems like 10 years of my life shaved off) I have been gut punched by emotions and the choices and decisions that needed to be made because of emotions. There's a bucket full of emotions that still have to be sorted out and dealt with because of the marriage. Happiness was not a common emotion felt during that situation. There were decisions made that hurt me that I am still working through and will likely be working through for awhile yet. I won't air too much dirty laundr...
