Life has a way of teaching you lessons when you least expect it. In sharing with all of you my excitement in meeting a man with some promise, I unveiled a very personal side of myself and of my dream. I did so fearlessly with just a dash of caution. I want you all to be able to identify with the real twists and turns that exist on any path we choose.
You should know, the 'guy' might have a little less promise than I'd anticipated. That is yet to be determined. But that's okay. It wasn't really about him. Instead it was about realizing that I am very easily side-tracked when love comes into the mix. I needed to be wary of this.
I know, for me, that love has always taken precedence over anything else in my world. This is both a blessing and a curse. I live impetuously when it comes to matters of the heart. And so far, that beautiful naivety has not led to lasting love. Another words, my romantic dreams (however idyllic and sweet) have soured from time to time.
All hope is not lost though...I believe in true love too much. It will come to me. Or better said, I will find it while looking for something else entirely...I'll find it while looking for Me.
I'm not saying that I wouldn't adjust my dream if the "one" comes along...because I would. I am merely saying (in the words of the great Steve Truitt) that I must remain focused on my Dream. Because inside that dream is the Truest Me...and that's the person I want to be loved for in the end.
Sweet Dreams,
Me
