Another Touch Stone

I often find myself looking out the window and remembering something from my 72 years on this Earth. Today I was listening to Relatable Reese and she brought up some things that made me think about my past marriages. When I was younger I was so emotional and immature or, emotionally immature --DUH!. My relationships were awful. Now I realize that some things just don't get closure. The ending of a relationship can be so frustrating. I have a problem with having the last word. But I am now realizing that not all things get closure. If it didn't work then, why would it now? Attachment is not connection or love. Growth is realizing that someone's inconsistency is a sign to step back, not a challenge to prove your worth. I know my worth, I didn't back then. I wasted a lot of time. I chose men that I could learn from, not those who would love me or that I would learn all good things from either. My self-love was pretty low. When there are things not working a person has to realize it, come face to face with it and, at some point walk away. I put the stuff I can't change in what I call(and RR too) "the Gap". In these learning experiences, we find new pieces of ourselves while losing parts that weren't good. Those that aren't good or that aren't changeable go in the Gap. Leave the stuff you can't change there. Move on and learn from the experience. ********************************************************************************************** Here's some words for thought: Men have nice skin because they stress everyone else but themselves. Our society doesn't know what to do with a woman who is not seeking it's approval. Quit saying "I'm sorry!" for your personality. (Me, not you folks) Picture is from my collection.
