Who, in Your Life, Turned Out NOT to be The Person You Thought They Were?

People wear many mask, pay attention to action, not words.

I met this girl.

She seemed to live a spiritual life, looking for growth. She said she did yoga, practiced mindfulness, and was two years divorced from an abusive marriage. She was looking for someone on the same path.

I was two years divorced, and working on my spirituality and self-awareness felt like the perfect match!

We laughed a shit load; we took little trips; we both loved goats; we both liked to cook; we both loved fun socks; we were vegetarian, we were both very insecure, and we loved being in each other’s company. We talked of marriage, starting an AirBnB, getting goats, having yoga, and breakfast and lunch at our BnB.

One little thing she forgot to tell me, she likes to lie, and I mean A LOT. Actually, I don’t think she can help herself.

She was never divorced, nor was she single. Who knows how many others she had? I know of 3.

Without getting into the messy details, it was a train wreck that she calls “mistakes!”

A mistake is putting three eggs in a recipe that calls for 2 — not juggling three guys and taking on a 4th!
