Okay, breathe in, breathe out. Relax.
That was for me, by the way.
Yesterday's entry...ah, what can I say about it? Pure emotion. Not logical or reasonable, or even centered in reality. I guess the fact that I realize this means there may be hope for me after all.
I want to thank Keurigirl for giving me some perspective on it. Somehow, I knew she would -- was actually hoping she would. She's a wise one.
There's something I didn't mention in my entry yesterday that is definitely weighing on my mind. You see, T (my niece) is going to be 18 in March. P and I had a discussion about this last night. Neither of us has a problem with an 18 year old dating whomever she pleases. Naturally, we'd prefer she dated someone in her own generation, but there's something about that number 18 that signifies *something* is different. 17 and 18 are light years apart. I don't know why this is. Maybe it's just a perception thing.
That said, I feel awful about how my entry made this guy feel, and I want him to know that it never occurred to me that HE was doing anything wrong. At all.
It comes down to this: I am a mama bear and yesterday I showed my claws. They are retracted today. Allow me to vent my emotions, and I promise you, in time I will settle back into my reasonable self.
I'm still working it all out. I think it's important to remember that when a woman is venting, she may say incredible things. They may be the truth as she sees it at that moment, but take it with a grain of salt. She may change her mind the next day.
Not that I've changed my mind. But I *am* trying to open it a little.
