The Great What-Ifs

I was thinking about this a lot last night (you know, instead of sleeping).

What if I had stuck by my original word?  I said, when I moved to a different state, "No more guys."  What did I do?  Found 3 I instantly had a crush on.  One of the crushes dwindled rather quickly as my heart moved on to the other two possibles.  Because of one crush, I met another one.  I allowed myself to cheat on my secret boyfriend back home for the nth time with that last crush.  The others dwindled over time (though I admit it took a very long while), and I became a wife and mother.  I would not ask for a different man.

But if I had stuck by that "no more guys" rule, certain things would not have happened.  Would I have spent all that extra time at his house getting to know him?  Probably not.  Maybe I would have taken my time, done things right, dated and eventually married one of my original crushes.  I would still be in school, I may still have my ex as a friend, and I probably wouldn't think much about the man that I did marry in real life.

And maybe I would have found someone totally new that I had never met in real life because of the poor choices I made.

All in all, I'm not sure I would have been as happy as I am today.  I'm glad I made bad choices.  Yeah, I learned from them.  But I also learned that they truly do depict the outcomes of our lives, and sometimes mistakes can be the best choices you've ever made.

Get These Thoughts Out of My Head!!!

I am seriously getting frustrated at all of these bad thoughts I've been having.  Curiosity goes up, and I'm left screaming at myself.  "No!  Bad idea!  Bad, Poison, bad!"

And then I think "Well maybe if I do this, these thoughts will go away."  But it's not from God, so why am I thinking them?

Ugh!

Poison.

Like a Fresh Drink of Cold Water

Things are much better.  I took the news hard (as expected), talked with a good friend, and moved on.  There may be days where I am depressed/hurt over it, but the general consensus is that.. It's really no different what I did and what someone else did, so I have no right (yet every right) to be hurt.  I am taking a deep breath and moving on.  As my friend said "the past is the past."  The end.

I am just happy that honesty has been renewed.  Now, trust should be easier to gain :)

Numb.

You said it would hurt me.  Oddly, I'm only a little bit hurt... for now.  It probably hasn't hit me yet.  I don't know how to feel about it.  I would be a hypocrite to be hurt, because wasn't I doing far worse when we met?  I'm glad you are being honest with me [[finally]].  I will probably be a little more .... I will be checking up on you a bit more... except that I don't know your email passwords.

I'm scared you'll do it again, since I'm not overly hurt by it.  Isn't that what I did over and over again in my past?  He wasn't hurt, so I kept on doing it... only to find out he was just hiding the pain.

I'm more numb than anything right now.  I thought I only didn't like her because of the things she said about me.. about us.. or was that a lie, too?  You said before you wanted us to get along.  I knew it would never happen, but I didn't realize how deep that dislike and distrust was until last night when you told me I had been right all along in my thoughts.

Yes, it was in the back of my mind.  I tried to push it out.  The funny thing is, I thought it was the second time you went against your word.  Not the first.  Now I have to try to push out any thoughts about the second time.  I would never have done that with what had happened that first time.

I guess I'm just glad that you didn't take it way too far.  Too far, yes, but it could have been farther.  I will try to trust that nothing else happened that night or the second one...

Poison.

...

every time I think about leaving,
I realize I have nowhere to go.

I Hate Your Lies

I want to stay with you.  I do.
But I can't take this dishonesty anymore.
You need to straighten up your act.

Please... I can't imagine life without you.
But why should I live my life in question?
I'm not happy this way.
