No problem with the fall, it's the sudden stop that hurts.

You know, in life, I have not figured out this crazy relationship thing.

I know a great deal about people, and how they tick.
I know a great deal about me, and how I tick.

I know all of the things I do wrong, and right.
But I am 29, and very single, like always.
SO this only leads me to think, or hell, know it's ME.

My sister FORCED me to read "The Rules", several years back. I gasped, I gagged, I was outraged.

It encouraged women to be princesses, and bitches(Ok, my opinion, in how I read it). The way to capture a guy, is to make him work for you, make yourself mysterious, even be mean to him.

I CAN'T DO THAT!
I can't be a princess. I'm a Joan of Arc, damn it.

But guy's don't want Joan of Arcs, they want princesses they can save, to make them feel strong, like they have won some big prize.

How about, if a Joan of Arc, some brave, strong girl, opened her armor, and gave you her heart, wouldn't that be a better prize?

Also, I have learned...
There are so many amazing people out there... but with walls and fears.

But, there can not be any true "i will never hurt you" contracts...

There is only, "make it up as you go along" and hope for the best...

But, there can be the promise of kindness & honesty...most importantly, honesty.

And where does this leave me?
I am fully aware I don't need another person in my life to be whole(Hedwig), but sharing it would some amazing person would be kinda nice.
