Epiphany ( w/ edit)


Today I am thankful for realizing what I want in a relationship - 

and what I can offer. 

I never really thought I had much to offer outside of a good time. 

I finally figured out what I can offer. 

What I value in relationships is to be the ability to be myself and pursue the things I want to pursue. 

The gift I can give with others is to let them be themselves and pursue the things they want to pursue. 

This is what was missing in ALL of my past relationships.  My previous partners would try to dissuade me from my pursuits and hobbies.

Still having dreams -thankfully- no one dies.  

They just watch.  

The dreams are getting me to ponder my faults and the things that went wrong way back when. 

It's to the point where I realize that over analysis is a fault in and of itself. 

Everything has been analyzed to death. 

You know what? 

I'm tired of dreaming about the same ol' people and things. 

Maybe a new boyfriend will help give me new mental material for dreamtime? 

Where do I go for that? 

Where have there been the most fireworks? 

I've met hot interested guys at swimming pools.  I guess those guys are fun because they've seen me with my faults glaring in the sun and still like me.  That's an option.  

I've met other guys during concerts.  I typically wind up getting called by the bass players or the drummers.  Are people playing now in Covid-land? 

There are the guys I meet at gun rallies.  They tend to be Christian, though.  These guys tend to find me on ALL of my social networks....it's a little over the top.  

I'd love to meet another obnoxious rabble-rouser.  I've only met one guy as obnoxious as me but he takes it out on homeless people.  If we got together, I would probably strip him naked and tie him up to leave him as bait for the vultures or the homeless people he victimizes.  A decade ago I thought he was cute but now, I just fantasize about seeing him in an orange jumpsuit behind bars. 

There have been several men hitting on me in grocery stores.  I kinda regret turning down that fireman out in my hometown.  It was my birthday.  He approached me in the bottled water aisle, stammered and said "you're beautiful." 

There is just something about firemen that makes women swoon.  

I wasn't ready.  I just thanked him and ran off.  

There are a couple of guys I've avoided since I started having nightmares last summer.  They still reach out.  Maybe I'll start....being....more available.  

So - maybe I'll just open my mind up to the possibilities.  Things always happen when we least expect it. 

Perhaps the goal, this time, is to not run off like a wild banshee. 

May you easily find what you're looking for, 

S. 



Next morning edit: 


So I had the ice dream again. 

This is the one where the blast from the past is behind a huge wall of thick ice and writing messages to me. 

This time it was (in really pretty cursive) 

Thank you. 

Then it was erased and replaced with 

NEXT!  

which was wiped away and written in its place was a grand and bold

FUCK YOU! 

Sigh....

This is the point in which I awaken.  

At least I woke up laughing

and no one died or was injured. 

Hugs, 

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Venus Meditations

  Today I am thankful for my new realization.  In my world, Friday is the day of love (reminds of The Cure - lol).  It's true.  Friday is the day of Venus.  Exhausted as I was after work, I went to my altar and lit a candle asking that my friend find whatever his life is lacking. Then I went upstairs and did my Friday night ritual to Aphrodite.  I lit a candle asking that I gain confidence in my ability to love.  I also ask that I recognize true love.  I was too exhausted to linger so I tried to fall asleep.  Have you been too tired to sleep?  It's horrible.  Your mind goes round and round -  you might recall things that happened recently (like the doctor telling me to be careful because I haven't hit menopause yet and I say, "not worried about it" while thinking that it's a good time to be in a sexual drought - hooray for me),  or things going on at work  (that I can hypnotize little cranky babies to sleep without sa...

Welcome to the Club, Zuckerberg (also a warning)

Today I am thankful for realizing that I am not alone.   There is a frustrating feeling that one gets when trying to educate lawmakers about the reality of the world in which we live. I saw this feeling expressed by Mark Zuckerberg during that charade of a Congressional hearing he took part in this week. Zuckerberg looks a mixture of angry and frustrated.  I know that face.  That's the face where I am stifling laughter so hard that it looks like I'm going to cry. That's my political face.  My background is in social science and psychology.  Imagine how irritating it is trying to explain that city policy is based on the concept of a traditional nuclear family (mom, dad, kids - people tied together by blood or legal policy).  As such, there are laws on the books that break up other types of families (more complex family systems of economic cooperation).  Trying to explain that there are  people who share economic resources without bloo...
