The City of Angels
Sometimes what you want isn't always what you need.
I am at a point in my life where I know what I want and I have the means and method to achieve it and beyond. "The world is my oyster". I could not find a more perfect fit to describe my situation. I am blessed with multiple opportunities, and they finally are rolling in with avalanche force. Today I shook hands with a man who is #5 in the entire CH2M company (an international multi-billion dollar company). He sat me down personally and praised me for 15 solid minutes. No one else got this according to my PM. He gave me his card and personal cell and told me to call him as soon as I knew what my next move was because he was personally interested in my success and wanted to mentor me. I am invincible. I can literally go anywhere and do anything. I will be a huge success and my quality of life is only going to improve.
All that aside, I am again thrashed against the edge of what I know and shoved forcefully into the unknown. I have no idea what will happen or how it will play out. I can still close my eyes and feel everything fresh in my mind. My body still hurts with delicious reminders of the past weekend. This I am familiar with... I know this period will pass soon with time, and not long from now I will struggle to recall the warmth of her touch and the glow in her face. I wonder how much she fights with this and how the next meeting will go. I do know that what we do have has stood the test of time. There is no period of rekindling or an awkward time. Every time is a direct continuation as if we never parted. In the meantime she must deal with complicated situations. I am not concerned because I know none of them have touched her soul like I have and no one will share what we share. I bare her scars and she mine.
