The ‘right’ one?

February 1st 2007 05:11
When the time is 'right', will they materalise?Are we with them now?We will never know. It is all about timing. And mostly timing in regard to ‘you’ being ready. Its all about ‘you’. Not the other person. But don’t you sometimes think how amazing it is that the universe seems to revolve around you?! In that it seems that events occur solely for your purposes? When the time is right, that right person does just materialize. Or how bizarre it is that partners ALWAYS are connected to you and your past in terms of lessons that you have to learn or keep working on learning. That they usually have similarities to your ‘family of origin’. There is usually obvious characteristics of them that ‘push your buttons’. It gives you a sense of familiarity. Is this a bad or good familiarity? It feels good but is probably bad. Do you sometimes curse that this continually occurs? Do you wish that you could just bluddy well learn the lessons and be done with it! Do you think you will ever learn your lessons? Is there an end of the road? A place of enlightenment where there is harmony and peace.As whats the point on keeping on going when you cant see progress being made. Are you destined to just continually keep being attracted to people that possess the same characteristics as the lessons you are destined to learn?Where is the God damn clarity? Therefore is it best just to stick with the same partner and face your demons head on.Will you ever be 100% sure of when the time arrives when you should just count your losses and God forbid, commit!!? I don’t fucking think so. It sucks. Im just glad I want to have kids cause I don’t think Id ever commit if I didn’t!! God Bless.

Muchies, onions & butter!

January 31st 2007 03:15
Who stole our muchies, onions and butter out of our letterbox! Its one of the wealthiest suburbs of Sydney although obviously still ‘tight-arsed’ enough to steal. What is the world coming to?or more so what are the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney coming to?What would have been the process in deciding to take them out of the letterbox?Were you that desperate or did you just do it for the cheap thrill?Did you scope it out first? See if anyone was looking?Was it easily done?Did they sent their friend to do it? Or was it the local homeless women down the road on the street corner who nabbed them? Would she have the balls or nouce to do it?

Well anyway it pissed us right off as we didn’t have the ‘essential’ ingredient for our spag bol!And when we got back from our jog the local corner store had closed so we couldn’t get anymore.If you are out there, Id like to know what you cooked with them?Was it good enough to ruin our spag bol?Or did you just eat them on them raw?

Next time ask and out of the kindness of our hearts we might just even lend them to you.Thanks for nothing.

Relationship: The glove that fits best!

January 29th 2007 03:01
Relationships-the eye-opener? What are the different type of relationships and what goes on within. One. The Dependant. The man: seemingly in control, capable and able whilst emotionally out of control, insecure and condescending. Women: Sweet but intense, unnerving tactility, need for reassurance, volatile, explosive. Both parties: out of control, efforts made for comfort ability, a safety net is created! Do we have a choice? Are we destined to be in a particular type of relationship? Two. Co-dependant. Separate lives, detached emotionally, minimal emotional connection, respect although conditional on expectations and achievements. Is this really what relationships have to be about? Three. The Needy. Once the partner is won over and the pair are settled, there will be inconsistent & erratic behaviour, little self-control or consideration for the other, tactile whilst being self-absorbed. Four. The role model. Soulful, balanced, adult grown up interaction, take responsibility for personal actions whilst remaining emotionally connected. We all try to be good people and people that lead good lives. My prayers are for good fortune, a clean break and clarity!!

Why do so few people achieve # Four? Is it dependant on the maturity of the women? Is this the aspect us women should be working on? Are relationships meant to be hard? Finding a balance is hard. You have to take responsibility for yourself. Have unfailing self-discipline. Achieve healthy amounts of emotional detachment. Open up to experiences which educate you in feelings. Commit. And choose the ‘right’ one to be in the fox hole with - the glove that fits best

Babies!

January 26th 2007 03:00
Life is all about experiences and feelings right? Here’s a thought for all you educated 30 something women out there. Of course Im writing this because I am one of them! …Maybe our intellect and society are out of sync with our biology. Could you ever consider that that real urge to have a baby is only short term and that with time, this urge will lessen and eventually pass. Things will get better! Don’t get me wrong…I love this baby and would love to have one of my own This is not to say that one will no longer physically be able to have a baby. Just the novelty of the first feeling of this biological desire lessens and therefore becomes less strong. How many women of this age feel this ‘baby’ urge and pick the first guy that crosses their path to have a baby with? Then 10 years down the track, or even 5 the joys of having a new born are gone and one looks at this person they choose to have a baby with and think… we have nothing in common. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with this man.

Another thought…Have you ever thought that maybe 80% of life experiences come from matters outside of having babies or a husband and family. That if you don’t push through this initial ‘pop a baby out’ urge, it will be a lot harder (due to the time pressures of having a family) to explore that 80% of other experiences that are to be had in life. Or…shock horror….maybe you do pass that time of physically being able to have a child. Is this all that bad? Maybe you could adopt. Once again, could you possibly think that, having childbirth and being pregnant is only 20% of the experiences to be had with having a baby and that maybe in rearing say an adopted child you will still be able to experience 80% of the experiences to be had with raising and looking after another human being!! Whilst also giving a positive opportunity to a person (adopted child) that they would never have had
