No, I'm fine. I heard a thing on the radio about love and what it means and it got me thinking. On family and what "family" means. So tell me, what does family mean to you?
To me, family means: -freedom to really live as who I am, free of judgment (though constructive criticism comes in) -comfort in hard time -safety -foundation-a strong support from which to launch my dreams and help others launch theirs. -love in its' true form, the bad and the good of it.
We're all walking this earth together, and who knows what will happen after this. The people that surround us should help make this journey worthwhile, and it really falls on everyone involved. There's so much joy to be had and just as much sorrow...it's all about perspective and who is there pushing you forward, holding you up; and who you're doing it for as well.
I think about this kind of stuff all the time too. I know a lot of people that are having marriage trouble, and it some times makes me SO glad I'm not married. On the other hand, there is loneliness and the great trouble that goes along with it. I've a lot of friends in both pools, and the thing about love that seems clear is that everyone wants it to make them happy, and it almost never does. Most people do not think of love as something they just are going to give (like to an annoying cousin) without getting something in return.
So I'm trying to figure out if love really means something else. The more realistic and scientific I can be with my thoughts, the happier I tend to feel, despite being surrounded by a world that insists that love is some kind of fairy tale, even though almost no one's life is like that.
I am fairly sure that if you replace "run" with "rum" everything will get better. Also maybe it is time not only to commit to your relationship but to commit to yourself. I think this is worth fighting for. I know that as women we have to fight all day long, school, work, family but at some point we have to let everything else go and fight for what is really important. I guess you need to decide if this is. Also John was a schmuck.
I have to agree with Brandy. John WAS/IS a schmuck, and you made the right choice by severing your commitment to him. I know you have this fight in you, and like B said, you just have to decide what is worth fighting for.
Also, rum always makes me think of Johnny Depp in that pirate get-up, so it's a double dose of fix-you-up!
