Appropriate

Sometimes, it's just a sign from God that you did the right thing or you're on the right path. He puts something out there in the universe to remind you of it. As you can see, I just recently blogged about letting go of my ex-boyfriend and all that comes with it. It's been a struggle, but I'm glad it's over now... well, at least the hard part; the letting go part.

So, I'm searching for music online today (when I should have been working, but the brain needed a rest) and was seeking the album of Edges: A Song Cycle. The song I sang on Monday night at Mama's party (the one where I let him go) is from this musical. So, in searching for that CD (there is not one) I stumbled across the rest of the songs/lyrics. And I found this one and knew what I did was right. I knew that I was supposed to let him go because of this song. For those of you that speak in song, you'll understand this:

Ready to Be Loved

I think I've worked it out
I think at last the cloud has moved aside
I've spent a lifetime waiting
Awoke today to find my arms are open wide
There comes a point when things aren't clear
Then they shift into perspective
All hesitation seems to disappear

I know I've found the way
I've finally found the way to let things go
The past is there to teach you
Mistakes provide the pain that helps you grow
So I have healed and I have grown
At some point I guess you have to
But I don't want to face the world on my own

Something has got to start
I am ready to be loved
Someone come steal my heart
I am ready to be loved
I know you'll find me it takes time
Today I know that I'm ready to be loved

I won't depend on you
I want comfort; I don't need a crush
I need to care for someone
And know that someone out there cares for me as much
I'm on a search for something great
I won't settle for contentment
Though I am willing to, I don't want to wait

Something has got to start
I am ready to be loved
Someone come steal my heart
I am ready to be loved
I know you'll find me it takes time
Today I know that I'm ready to be loved

I was always the girl who thought she needed to be tough
I was never the girl who liked herself enough
To feel like she deserved someone who cares
But now I do, yes I do
I'm prepared

I find this incredibly appropriate.

    After months of emotional torment, it was such a breath of fresh air.

Wow... that just happened...

So, my "friend" (and I use that term loosely), the one that owes me about $200... oh, did she just make me angry! She told me a couple weeks ago that she would be unable to pay me right now because she has to pay for summer school. In March? Really? I'm not an idiot, but apparently she is. She commented or wrote on someone's wall that she was thankful that they bought her lunch (that's like 3 days now) and she's looking forward to the movies this weekend and the tattoo shop! Seriously? You're gonna spend the money you owe me on tats? Have you no respect? No dignity? No care or concern for what your word means? Does it not bother you that your word means nothing and that I have lost that much more respect for you? Does your reputation not concern you? After all the years we spent under the heading of "best friends", you throw it all away. I mean, you already kind of did with the Christmas dinner at Mi Cocina with your words. Yes, th...

New Year...New Blog... Newness.

Hello 2012! Welcome! Good to see a new face! Many new things on the horizon... new changes... renewed spirit... A breath of fresh air! I feel so many good things coming this year. 2011 was a somewhat turbulent year for me emotionally and I'm glad it's come to an end and I'm thankful for all that I learned from it. I've missed blogging and I really should do it more often. I know I've said that before, but things get in the way and time just flies by you. So, I promise this to you... I will blog at least once a month. A reasonable and attainable goal for me. :) I'll try and catch you up on all that is going on soon...

I am more than I used to be...

 I don't know why today was the day I remembered/stumbled upon this blog again... well, all my blogs. Kismet much? I just spent the last 30 minutes going through my old posts and I kinda want to smack that girl. How blind I was to so many things, but mostly my own worth. I kept placing my worth in what boys (and I use that word intentionally) thought of me. And I was so broken when it ended... as if it was surprising. Reading through the posts I thought I would remember all the feelings and pain, but I didn't. Like the girl that was all over those posts no longer exists. I'd like to think that, for sure. I'd like to think that there is no way I will ever be her again (cause she was a bit of a narcissistic bitch). I'd like to believe that I've actually grown up and know what I'm worth because of me and not a man. Let's call that a vast improvement from where I was when I first started this blog (back in 2010)! I can also say that the relationship between ...
