i did it.

 3rd or 4th time breaking up?  I lost count.

But this time I did it, and i mean it.  I won't be the backup girl. He can't give me what i need.

And he agrees.

So that was easy.

for him.

ha. From a weekend where i felt like we had come so far to breaking up.......AGAIN.  Thats not toxic at alllllllllllll.  I'm off the rollercoaster.

I'll be the one that got away.  I love hard and i'm loyal.  There are so many good qualities about me and all a man has to do is love me. Expecting to have my feelings returned after months of cat and mouse isn't asking for too much. Expecting that someone be over their ex before dating me isn't a lot to ask for.  It's not asking for enough.  That is about to change.

I'm holding it together because i'm at work but i had to say something because i dont want him to continue calling me, or reaching out. Once again i gave myself to a man who didn't want me.  I'm seeing a pattern.  And i'm seeing myself as the common denominator.  

I'm done.

I choose love over chaos.  If that love ends up being only for myself,  then so be it.  That is enough.

This is the second time i've broken up with someone i care for to save myself.  Maybe it will get easier.

Maybe i won't fall for men who don't prove themselves to be worthy first.  That is my next goal to reach: Don't give my feelings to someone who hasn't shown they deserve them.  No more trauma bonds.  

I can feel the pressure in my neck and shoulders dissipating as i write this.  My body knows.  My brain knows.  And now my heart knows.  It's finally catching up and being a team player.  But i'm inexcusably sad that i tricked myself again.  

He isn't the one.  Not even close.  I will survive this temporary sadness and then i will go back to my peace.

Thats one point for me. 

The second point is that i began to reach out to Mr. Tattoo and i stopped myself.  What would be the reason? The fact that i even pulled his number up should be enough to slap me. STOP poking the wounds MB.  We have some healing stuff to do instead. 

So i'm getting it.  Yay. Me.

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

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 ...
