Just Say I'm Sorry

Good morning, my Lovelies!

It's Thursday and I can all but taste the weekend. I hope you're well and that things are just peachy in your part of the world. How are things with me? 

In some ways, things are fabulous! I had some great news this morning and one worry on my mind has now been relieved. (Unfortunately, I can't share that particular bit of news with you. Just know that it is what I had hoped for!) 

But...in some ways, I'm ready to throw up my hands and walk away.

Let me ask you a question. Can you say you're sorry? When you know what you said and did was wrong, hurtful, and/or downright mean, are you able to apologize and mean it?

I don't understand how some people can't get the words past their lips. Why exactly is this so hard to do? Maybe I just don't fully understand narcissistic behavior. That's not me.

Look, when I screw up I'll be the first to admit it and say I'm sorry. I will sit and have a conversation with you so you can see why I did or said the things I said. Communication is so damn important. Then when the air is cleared I'm going to apologize. I would never intentionally do or say something to hurt someone. So, yes, when I fuck up I'm going to tell you I'm sorry. And I'm 100% going to mean it.

Do some people have such a God complex that they can't see that they're wrong? I totally get that in the heat of the moment things get said. Feelings are on the surface. Tensions are high. Maybe those things are true. Maybe they're not. But when you see that you've clearly hurt that person with what you said, how can you carry on as if nothing has happened?

Not me. I can't do it.

I'm just having a real problem seeing how you can say you love someone if you can't tell them you're sorry for hurting them. Do you really love that person if you can hurt them with your words or actions and then never give it another thought? Especially when that person is straightforward with you and tells you that you hurt them? Is that even possible?

I don't know about you, but I can't forgive and forget if there's no remorse involved. And I can't forgive and forget if the words are never said.

I guess this blog is a little on the heavy side this morning. Sorry! (Look! I apologized! LOL!) Tonight I'm going out with two of my best friends. They are simply amazing and I know, without a doubt, that these two beautiful women will help me make sense of some of this. (They always do!)

For now, I hope that you all have a beautiful day, that you find an amazing reason to smile, and that you don't have to deal with someone with these issues. Nobody needs this kind of emotional drain in their life!

Until next time and as always,


Much love and mental health support from me to you,

Find Out Who Your Friends Are

Good morning, my Lovelies! It is time once again for me to get a few thoughts out of my head (maybe more than a few) and I just know that each and every one of you is itching to hear what has been floating around up there. Well, maybe not, but y'all love me and will humor me anyway. I don't know if this blog will touch you in any way, will make you feel anything, but I know it will me. As most of you know, my father passed away a couple of weeks ago. Neither of my parents has been in particularly good health for quite some time now. And while nobody is ever prepared to lose a loved one, not really, I feel like I had thought about the inevitability enough that I'm handling it better than I thought I would. Oh, I still have my moments. Believe me when I say I miss my father, but he was in pain and had been in pain for a long time. Maybe it just eases my mind that he is no longer suffering? Maybe it eases my mind that I never had to put him in a nursing facility, which is one ...

Taste Of You

Good morning, my Lovelies! I hope this blog finds you doing well and that things are groovy in your part of the world. How's things in my world? My epic game of Frogger continues. I guess my getting food poisoning over the weekend was the equivalent of my froggy self getting splatted on the speed lanes. Good times. I actually started writing this blog a couple of nights ago and about halfway through it dawned on me that everything I was saying sounded horribly familiar. I had to go back and check myself. It turns out that I had already talked about that particular topic so I kind of started over again. I mean, I assume you guys don't need more details on the night my ex-husband stabbed me. We'll move along. Instead, let's talk about... Desire. Has there ever been someone that you craved beyond all logical reason? You just can't get enough of them. You think about them all day, dream about them at night, and they're the first thought on your mind when you wake in...

Crazy

Good evening, my Lovelies! Gracious! I hardly know where to begin. This is my first blog of the new year and I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to acknowledge everyone who started reading and following my blog over the past year. I've gained some amazing followers and new friends and I'm thankful to each and every one of you. The past year brought many changes and challenges. It also brought some heartbreak, but at the same time, it brought many heart smiles. I had many blessings and I'm grateful for them all. So what is it that I want to talk to you about tonight? I think I've touched on this before, but if you don't already know, I'm a very insecure person. I've had friends, family, and people that I love, to just walk away without looking back. I've always wondered what I did that made them leave or what I didn't do to make them want to stay. I've tried repeatedly to tell myself that their leaving falls on them and not me, but I...
