I’ve been thinking a lot lately, and sadly have not come to many conclusions. But, its the journey is the best part right?
Laying on my living room floor the other night (I took a nap there because it was warmer than my room), I had the bizarre thought that I was content. Not completely happy, mind you, but content.
I’m enjoying this slower paced lifestyle filled with sex in swanky hotels and apartments. Its not a forever content, but the content where you know you’re doing the best you can in the given situation, and don’t regret it.
The past month I’ve been trying to get the Kid to understand that we are not poor anymore, that we can put food (sufficient and quality food) on the table consistently, and that we won’t have to share small kid’s drinks (gasp!). We don’t have to scour the kitchen for hippy-dippy-tastes-like-paper crackers, and we can spend the extra dollar to eat brand name cereal.
While I don’t tell him exactly what I make, I tell him not to worry about the necessities, and that the necessities are going to be of quality. I don’t want him to scratch his way up; he deserves much more than that.
I think he’s finally understanding what I tell him, and he said to me the other day, “Please don’t let us be poor again.”
No, no kid, we will not be poor again. Never. I swear to you, you will never have to worry about that again.
(Its like the scene in Gone With the Wind when Scarlett swears she will never go hungry again, right before intermission. I knew I was Scarlet in a past life!)
The rest of my thoughts have been more personal, and (surprise surprise) related to my personal life. A recent conversation with a new friend, henceforth known as the Director, made me question why personal sex is unfullfilling.
I don’t exactly have the answer, but I’m not worried. I know I can have romantic feels for boys, and it is possible to keep my interest for more than a week, its just rare. Whenever I’ve have those feelings for boys, they have broken my heart until I’m a miserable mess. It doesn’t help that my first boyfriend was mentally (and simewyst physically) abusive.
Yes I’m a cliche. And yes, I have daddy issues, in case you were wondering.
But that’s not it, that’s not the reason I protect myself and my personal sexuality so much. Some part of me is a romantic and wants to believe in true love. Some part of me wants personal sex to be with someone I’m truly in love with, and not someone I could possibly fall in love with. Some big part of me wants to wait for the right person.
Confused yet? I sure as hell am.
Now, dear Director, do you understand a bit more? A year ago I would have fantasized about you asking me out, and doing naughty things with you in naughty places. We do have some sort of a connection.
But the past year has taught me that…
A) if its meant to be it will happen
B) it needs to happen slowly and naturally because I am damaged beyond repair
C) its no fun waiting for something that may or may not come to be
D) sex is so much better when the indescribable chemistry hits you over the head
Today, and for the time being, I’m going to let things happen as they may, and wait (patiently) for that indescribable chemistry to hit me over the head, whether is happens over time or within seconds.
