What's on your mind?

[Tone]

Hmmmm maybe happiness isn't received...only given.


I feel like happiness shouldn't be tracked or focused on too much, one should just enjoy it's presence when it flutters on in.

And if we must catch it, let it be for the sole reason of sending it someone else's way.

I don't always find someone making me laugh like he did.

You're welcome. I used to date men my age but going younger provided a different energy and joy I hadn't experienced. The youngest man I ever dated made me smile the most. These days I prefer someone in their thirties. I won't go beyond that mark. There's an exception but he's the only one.

I had talked about it. It also shocked me that she had tattoos, small ones, but he said he did not care for that.

You can't read too much into that. Every preference has an exception.

From what I could gather there was plenty of alcohol shared amongst them and friends on the beach. And I can even look at pictures and I think there's a hat that he bought for me or intended for me to go on a camping trip and gave to her. He took her glam camping at in between area.

You've seen too much. How can you forget him with all that in your head?

Whereas my date in May this year spent a ton of money on flowers that represented his State and my state. That was out of my comfort zone for a first meeting.

Price is relative. When you have more you spend more.

So I'm not sure if he's my ideal, but I have used him as a measuring stick pretty much against all the other dates that I have had.

If a man see qualities in a woman he desires he doesn't forget. Sometimes his flesh gets in the way but if it does he corrects the problem.

You are right. That's a good thought and something I will have to keep in mind. Because sometimes I want to be like someone else, but my friends have put me in a reality check that I am most likely not that girl.

There's no need to do that. He needs to see and embrace sampa. Not another woman.

I think the biggest thing may have been for him is that he said his walls were higher than mine. Of course there was many other issues, it was a culmination where I had to make that decision.

That was bothersome because he wasn't the right one. If you desired his company you wouldn't complain.

I've learned to measure my no's. I said no musicians and dropped a song today with someone I'd talk to. Breaking three rules while doing so. The last person I dated was Asian. You never know.

Scurries back to my cubbyhole rubbing my head. That’s enough for the night!

There's so much I want to say about this. I won't, I'm going to get myself in trouble, and I like it here.

Not to worry. Here's another! Is it a full moon??

I thought I knew what it meant to be cynical. Apparently, even old dogs can learn new tricks.

Yes. Maybe I should join you in the cave.

 

[public hermit]

Yes. Maybe I should join you in the cave.

That sounds really friendly and warm. And, I cherish such thoughts. But I was talking about becoming much more cynical. Like, an old cynical dog who becomes even more cynical. That is my trajectory.

I like you warm and fuzzy. I’ll bring scotch.

Unfortunately, cynicism may be the saner path.

I know, right?

 

[public hermit]

Is it me?

 

[bèlla]

Is it me?

No. We need a safe space.

 

[public hermit]

No. We need a safe space.

Maybe that's true, surely it is. I don't feel unsafe, just don't want to associate myself with ornery.

 

[public hermit]

No. We need a safe space.

Bella, tell me your plan.

 

[bèlla]

Maybe that's true, surely it is. I don't feel unsafe, just don't want to associate myself with ornery.

That’s understandable and sometimes distance is necessary. But there’s an alternative approach. We can be the difference and allow our example to set the tone. You never know who’s watching or how we’ve inspired change. Perhaps that’s why we’re here.

 

[bèlla]

Bella, tell me your plan.

Which one?

 

[SarahsKnight]

Which one?

She's right, @public hermit . You know a lady like her has more than one scheme in the works, so you gotta be more specific.
