This morning it hit me like a divorce settlement that I'm done trying to figure out why I should or shouldn't be with someone else. Especially when that someone isn't sure He wants to be with me. Truly be with me.
So. New outlook. New list. MY list. All the reasons I want to be with me. Why I love me. Why I can't imagine being anyone else. And for simplicity's -- and ego's -- sake, I'm only going to focus on my positive attributes.
For the first time in my life, I will celebrate MY cylinder of singularity, MY line of likability, MY trail of endearing traits.
Because, as I texted my bestest friend in the whole wide world yesterday, "I need to concentrate on me. The rest. Whatever it is. Will fall in place."
And I believe that.
*Or a relationship.

Some years back, Mrs. Edge and I were having some difficulties, and I found the list that she had made up about me.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite interesting to get such a candid look at oneself through another's eyes.
DDD: LOVE this idea. :) I can't imagine any of this situation is easy--but I appreciate that you're sharing. I hope that you'll share your list, or at least, selected portions of the list.
ReplyDeleteIf I may, I hope that you'll include humor, sincerity, and a great ass. :) (Among lots of other things...)
Tom: Interesting, yes. It's so hard to see yourself objectively.
ReplyDeleteD: Several people have contacted me offline about this. I think EVERYONE should do their own list. Sincerity and my ass weren't on mine though, but I'll add them based on your recommendation. And consider sharing parts of the list sometime in the future. Thanks!
