There are secrets that are holed up in our hearts that we should never tell another human being…no matter how close. They say that they love you…but could never if they really knew…knew the real you.
the party
I had no idea that this party was pretty much a dance party. I don’t dance. I especially don’t dance when sober and in a room full of my boyfriend’s family that I have only met once before. 10 years ago when in my 20’s, single, and thinner I didn’t dance either. It comes down to a few basic facts. First, I am not comfortable with my self. There, I have said it. I am not comfortable in my body and have no desire to put it on display in a room full of people that clearly know how to bust a move. Secondly, I only know how to dance “goofy.” Where you bust out some ridiculous face and do the lawn mower or stir the soup for approximately 20 seconds and then retreat. This is only done for laughs…not for 3 hour dance-a-thons. Thirdly, I have never been a woman who “just wants to go out to a club and dance” and don’t see myself ever becoming one of those stereotypes. Perhaps I am viewed as boring and modest or even a wallflower…but I have lived a satisfied life without yearning to dance up to this point. Just needed to vent…
I can buy a house. Own the siding and shingles and windows. I can decorate the rooms with beautiful things. Fret over the paint color and arrange things here and there. It can all be picture perfect except it will be nothing but a structure without someone to make it a home with.

There are times, like today, where I want to flee. Give up everything and move across the country and start over. Just forget everything and everyone and start fresh somewhere else.

Oh God, this was me yesterday…

In desperate need to fix my own compass. I really don’t want anyone else to lead me.
I am your compass! I am your guide. I am showing you the path, leading you in the right direction and to where you need to be. We may change course, yet still I will lead. If one of us happens to veer off course, then we will stop, chart a new course and a new destination, and I will continue to guide you along the way. I am your tool for navigation. There are paths that are rough and paths that are smooth. I will direct you along the best path possible. This is our journey. One we take together. You light the way and I’ll guide and lead us both…for I am your compass!
