TALK talk talk

 Down 3lbs this week.....yay me.

Should i be spending so much time talking to a man that i'm not really seeing?

Why do i even have to think about this.

I guess i'll do it for as long as i like and then not.

I can't help comparing Mr. Cigar and Mr. Tattoo.  

So different, yet both so emotionally fucked up.

Takes one to know one.

Mr. Tattoo had no difficulty using me, even knowing that i was looking for something he wasn't willing to give.  It was "mutual" in his mind.  

That makes not having sex with a man very easy.  Mr. Cigar seems to think he's the one controlling the pace......and in a way he is.  If he tells me he wants to explore a relationship with me, that he chooses me to go forward with THEN we can have sex.  The kissy face stuff is fun and thats as far as it goes, no matter how wonderful he is at it. 

I'm not a prude, or a born again virgin......i'm trying to keep my hormones out of my picking process.  And it's been successful in rooting out the assholes and players over the past year.  Hell, maybe i am a born again virgin after all.

I will forever be grateful to Mr. Tattoo for teaching me how hard i fall once the deed has been done - and how dangerous that is for my emotional well being. That 4 months of playing games will never be forgotten. And his little "hey did i see you" text threw me for a loop because it INSTANTLY brought him to the forefront of my mind - where he has no business being.  He is the past.  He had his chance.

I still experience hurt and embarrassment over that "situationship" and i put him on such a high pedestal because i was trauma-bonded with him.  I seem to gravitate to fixer uppers whether i admit it or not.  

Mr. Cigar has trauma as well (as most of us in our 50's have experienced SOME kind of trauma) and yet he doesn't use it as an excuse to use me.  He seems to be very conscious of his treatment of me.  

I don't feel used by Mr. Cigar at all.  Confused, impatient, excited, and curious.....but not used.

Maybe it will work out, and maybe it won't.  At least i'll know i had my own back and didn't fall for any bullshit behavior either way.

I love ChatGPT

 I am extremely transparent with my emotions because i do not have the ability to NOT be.  My only option when i'm having any feelings is to talk in a very low, slow, monotone voice and keep my face as blank as i possibly can. Unless they mean something to me. Unless i care about them and how they treat me.  So while i'm perfectly okay with never seeing or hearing from Mr. Cigar again, in light of his true self unveiling, I am overthinking my expression of emotions to him.   I took this little conversation and put it into ChatGPT with no questions or directions and this is what i got back: This exchange captures a painful and emotionally charged moment. Your initial message was heartfelt, vulnerable, and expressed a genuine desire for connection and acknowledgment. His response, while polite on the surface, carried a sharp undercurrent of blame and finality—deflecting accountability and subtly rewriting the narrative as your fault. Ending it with “safe travels ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...

Same stuff

 Nothing new to report.   I've been managing my anxiety, trying to, at least.  I know when it's kicking up and i know it's temporary.   Still doing physical therapy, walking, stretching, losing weight VERY slowly.  Not so easy to lose it at my age.  But i have an appointment in September to discuss hormone replacement and i think that may help me out with body aches and lethargy. Mr. Cigar is as busy as ever, yet always manages to make me feel important in his life.  It's been only 3 months and that shocks me a little bit.  Feels like it's been so much longer.  The pace is perfect, and it's nice to not have to make power moves with him.   I need to see my kids.  I think about them daily and know they have busy lives.  But i feel disconnected sometimes.  Same with some of my friends.  It's really hard for me to reach out.  To anyone. And i've also been enjoying my "do absolutely nothing" time. ...
