I have not written here in years. Nonetheless, today I am here.
I discovered something recently.
Love. I think I get it finally. I realized it when I was complaining to my mom about something annoying about my boyfriend. I knew of course the act of complaining was no different for many as an act of contrition, a cathartic process so to speak. My beef was just a minor annoyance, not at all anything I can even recall. Yet, it felt good to let out the vomit that was my irritation. Like the bile you need to rid yourself of.
Dear god almighty, I had no idea my mom was going to perceive this as “trouble brewing” and jump all over the: “he’s a great man, but you deserve better” thing. I became instantly deaf and upset. Sure he’s fallible, but aren’t we all? I mean in all honestly, I’m certain he deserves better as well. But does this mean we should dump out the baby with the bath water and seek perfection in yet another mate, or should we accept no one is flawless snd embrace the 99% you have? Yep, I’m going with the latter. I hope he does too.
