Everyone writes what they want/need to hear. You will find your one, even if they aren’t the one you are looking for, but they will “do.”

We are all good at making it look like we found it, or better yet, we just don’t talk about who we are with no more. Why? What’s the point. We don’t like them, so no one else will, but at least we can sorta keep them under wrap.

50 is a weird age. It’s an age where you can either strut your shit, or curl up in a ball and try and turn back time. If you are trying to turn back time, you are doing things right in my opinion. It means, you still have life in you and you haven’t settled.

So many settle.

I do it, and have. I need someone in my life, don’t you? We are human, we need the connection we tell others to avoid. We are all full of talk, but when it’s time to walk, we stumble. No one likes themselves. NO ONE.

We like ourselves with others follow suit. What I like, is if you like me. You like me, I will like myself more. You hate me, I will hate myself more. The problem with this is I spend my whole life dancing between the lines looking for a level of approval I will never find, but the hunt is what it’s all about.
