I’m so overloaded. I do not want to give vent to my frustrations, but I know there is a certain element of healthy to being able to do so. Sharing our burdens, so to speak. What’s the difference between whining/complaining and sharing burdens? Perhaps a study for me to look into. Nobody wants to listen [...]

I mentioned my next door neighbor in a post a little while back. Yesterday something very simple happened but it struck me to my core. He’s an attractive gentleman; tall in stature and built hefty like a solid soccer player. He is a soccer player. He’s from South Africa and has an accent that makes [...]

When contemplating the lonliness and seeming isolation of singleness, when a particular individual is on my mind, its so easy to think about, rationalize, and justify all the reasons they could potentially work for me/us.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love

A friend of mine took some pics of me the other day. I look at the pics and think that I’m not terribly UN-Attractive. But it REALLY REALLY bites when there is such a tremendous DROUGHT of men to consider…and my self-worth and image starts to deteriorate so significantly because I’m not getting any attention. [...]
