There'll be those that valued your presence
as the year passed and the new came
and those that didn't bat an eye
at the mere absence of your name.
They are beside you, or they are not
remind you not the benefits of their lot.
Because your voice and sigh
filled their lonely company and spirits made high.
but only so far did that benefit last
upon needing yourself a tender pass
the inconvenience was too great
to friendship keep and trust create.
So pass did they, as the year did bade-
Farewell to the use they had for you
and your life is now your own due.
Wish them the best and happy new year to you.
"This. This so much. I am too old, too seasoned and too worthy to worry if a man is too preoccupied with another woman to love me.
I spent most of my adult life checking phone records, bank statements, popping up at other females houses, crying, begging and pleading for someone I would and did anything for to just love me the way I deserved.
You have to come to a point where you see that isn't conducive to staying alive. You have to realize that you could do everything right but deep down they aren't right or ready.
I'll never do that again. If someone wants to step out on you, let them. Push em out the way for someone who won't."
For both men and women, this holds true. If they are too busy with others, let them be.
"You'll always end up... sharing them..." How interestingly accurate for those types of people.
Actually... I fell two days ago... but... who's counting?

~ I Fell Today ~
I fell today.
Walking home
an old route in time.
It felt strange
taking in this
fall of mine.
It hurt,
but less than
I expected.
Not many saw
so my embarrassment
was protected.
I didn't linger.
I gathered my strength
and rose.
I'd fallen before
but none felt like this
one time, I suppose.
Of those that saw,
none really cared.
And that what got me
and made me smile.
As I walked home,
this world of ours
kept spinning
even as I fell
walking home my mile.
The world didn't end
nor sped up nor flinched.
I hit the floor
and the world kept on,
inch by inch.
As it did, I smiled and paced
and warmer felt the winter air I faced.
Everything keeps going, traumatizing or not.
It continues on, natures churning pot.
I laughed, expecting to have
heard laughter as I passed.
But once I didn't, the attention
I thought I drew, didn't amass.
I'm just me, passing on roads long passed by another
So too these wounds, has another surpassed.
So... I fell today. As I'd fallen before.
But was it I that got up again?
I'm not so sure.
With such a fantastic day, I found myself a bit dismayed and sad at how things tried to dampen that for me. Nope. I'm feeling way too great, with how things are shaping up.
I just want to see people smile and laugh, especially my daughter and myself. Won't be taking my smile just yet!!! Got too many things to do, and too many things to give.
Just smile, and give someone, anyone, a reason to burst out laughing. It doesn't cost anything.
Happy holidays to those of you that want them. : )
So she made my day today. During the end of training, to drive the point home, she put on Tim McGraw's Humble and Kind for all of us to listen to and watch. That was interesting and awesome. I think I was the only one of us who sang along. lol. Today ended well. Next week is going to be way busy.
Love bombing is when you start seeing someone and they act as if they are immediately in love with you. They communicate constantly and praise you for weeks; then suddenly there’s a total transformation.
After the infatuation wears off, they are done with you completely, and you’re left wondering what on earth happened.
Avoid self-blame in this situation; you likely didn’t do anything to make them suddenly lose interest in you.
Love bombers tend to be manipulative, and they want to control. They enjoy making someone fall in love with them but run away at the first sign of you loving them back.
They want to win you over but don’t want to commit. Once they know they have you just as infatuated with them as they appear to be with you, they’re ready to move on to the next person and repeat the process.
If someone professes love for you early in the relationship, view this as a red flag. Of course, this isn’t always the case, and it is possible that someone has genuinely fallen for you quickly.
To know for sure, try to find out a little more about this person and their dating history. Think hard about the amount of time you two have actually spent together. Is this person jumping the gun? Are they doting on you without really even knowing you? Is their interest in you waning as you show more interest in them? If someone is love bombing they are not really into you; they are into themselves.
Look into their dating history indeed. Unless of course, they lie, then... Best of luck to you.
Common abuse tactic. My mother does it to me. She'll fly off the handle and scream and rage, and then the next day she'll go buy me lunch, give me gifts, praise me and call me cutesy names, and otherwise try convince me that she's "sorry" and that "she loves me". It's used a lot in narcissism and in situations like domestic abuse/violence. They make the victim think they're truly sorry (or truly loved) and they shower with love (and gifts, in narcissism, they equate love to gifts) -and they generally combine this with gaslighting, trying to make the victim demean their own feelings - "I was over-reacting, he's not abusive, he's just frustrated with me, I'm the issue" and making the victim doubt their own sanity. Because the abuser says "I love you" and gives gifts - they're not a terrible person, they must be a GREAT person, I must be the issue... right?
It gets to the point (to use your example, Slain) where some start thinking "He loved me so much, we were so right for each other... maybe I'm the issue, there's something wrong with ME".
It's always the circle of abuse - it always goes in a circle, in a pattern. It's always repeating itself.
It truly does repeat itself, especially with those it comes from. The poor saps that don't recognize the pattern can't do much to break it. Self doubt is a bitch that keeps screaming at you long after you've conceded. People are such bundles of love and friendship it's frightening.

Saw this today and I sighed, remembering how often I've wondered this:
"I don't understand how people live with themselves, knowing they've emotionally destroyed someone."
Shortly after I saw this:
It rings true, that's why facing the truth is never an option for some.
Me: so what color do you want your room?
Little foot: i want it purple, your favorite color, and pink.
Me: my favorite color? Your meal teal?
Her: yes!
Me: why mine?
Her: because it's YOUR color, and I like it too!
Me: but... It's your room, you pick all colors you like.
Her: I did! And I love your color because it's yours!
Me: one teal, pink and purple room then...
I think back as I paint her room, heh... This is awesome.
I'm abusive for not wanting to be abused. What. A. Life. lol.
Tell people that I'm not going to deal with them treating me like crap and attacking me, and they stop talking to me as if it were a punishment. No, hun, the punishment was you disappointing my expectations, but not dealing with that behavior any more was the entire point. If you can be better for someone else, then I wish you the best. Everyone deserves that. Everyone.
Conversations are worth every last word... Even if it is the last word.

One of the greatest gifts life can offer when it comes to people, is the gift of disagreeing.
I was going to say they either attack you, or teach you, but it turns out, they enlighten you either way. When you disagree with someone they either attack you, or talk to you. Or better yet, they enlighten you in a positive way, or enlighten you in a negative way.
There are many things that give small glimpses into what a person is like and made of, this is certainly one of the more eye opening ones.
Vampire rave's social media 'inner' workings, as well as... just about any other social media's, have finally been broken down and thoroughly explained. Whew, dodged a bullet there Vr, leaving us all clueless like that. Tsk tsk. The evolution of consciousness continues to break established limits. VF, lookout! We're coming for you!
