Especially, new relationships.
Relationships between two busy people
are even harder work.
Especially, new relationships.
Relationships between two busy people
when at least one of the two has children? Wow! Hard work does not
even begin to describe it. Daunting, difficult, frustrating, at times
exhausting.
Especially, new relationships.
The thing here, though, is that the
hard work and overcoming difficulties and conflicting schedules, pays
off. There is a reward. There is happiness, joy, pure and true
enjoyment that can come from putting forth the effort.
I have said before that I don't need a
fairy tale ending. And, I don't. If our lives “ended” with a big
wedding and a sentence (“And they lived happily ever after...”)
then what's the point anyway? The relationship, the love, cannot be
the end. It has to be a part of the beginning. And, there is hope.
There is always hope for a good life. Still, as my niece finished
watching “Snow White” the other day, I looked at my mom and
asked, “Do I dare say what I'm thinking? Perhaps I need to keep my
jaded opinions to myself.” My mom responded, “You're just a
commoner, Bekah.” Oh, right! Not a princess. Not royalty of any
kind. Still, fairy tale love or not, I deserve a happy beginning,
even if I am just some common chick from LA, surviving life in the
Valley. Don't I? Don't we all?
And so, I put forth the effort. When I
have someone to watch CD and Miss Hollywood and the opportunity to
visit The Guardian, I take it. He brings me joy. He has shown me
things and ways to enjoy life that I did not know existed. Even
simple things such as opening up a box of pots and pans can be fun.
Yep, I may be a dork, but I embrace my dorkiness and my love for the
kitchen and for cooking contributed to the fun I had checking out The
Guardian's new pots and pans. We haven't talked about everything, but
so far we have been able to talk about just about anything. It is
daunting, difficult, frustrating, and at times exhausting, but it is
so worth it to spend even just a couple of hours with him.
Still don't know where, if anywhere,
this is going. Still don't care. Still working to enjoy what I can
when I can. And still, even when it is daunting, difficult,
frustrating, and at times exhausting … I am happier than I have
been in years. I love being able to be myself. I love learning more
about myself, my true self. I love laughing. So, wherever this is
going, I'll continue to enjoy the process.
Hope springs eternal, even when it
requires some hard work. My ringtone for The Guardian? One Republic's
“Good Life.”
...Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good
life
I say, “Oh got this feeling that you
can't fight”
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a
good, good life...
...When you're happy like a fool, let
it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take
it in...
