Omg. I am catching up and need to post on my own thread. Look at Don! He's out there slaying it! Good for you. Enjoy yourself!!!
I don't know if I'm slaying it, but yeah, my rather good life has gotten even better. It made me think that I'm getting back to my old self - like from years ago - the confident, happy, fun, self that I used to be. That part of me was not completely lost and I really, honestly, was still doing well and was happy, but I can't deny that the past couple of months have sort of been the cherry on top. I didn't really think about it or plan it or work on it - it just kinda of happened. Wild Girl thinks her deceased uncle had something to do with it - and, well, who knows? While I did know WG and her family on some level, if I was "trying" at all, my trying was a year ago. I reached out several times in several ways and never really got anywhere. In hindsight I now see that she reached out in her own way about 6 months ago - close to when her long time love both dumped her and admitted he was getting back with his wife who was also now pregnant. I see now, she may have tried at least a little bit to get my attention, but this time I didn't pick up the hint or the ball. Then, just as if on autopilot, I asked her mom and daughters where she was during an outdoor festival nearly two months ago. They told me she would be there the following day - and she was! That too almost failed to launch as I barely got to even say hello before they all left but again, something had me text her (with only 3% left on my phone battery) and she invited me to join the entire family - her mom and dad, her BFF, her two daughters, her brother, sister-in-law... LOL for pizza and beer. She was impressed that I had the balls to meet all of them just so I could see her. And from there... Rather than my typical, "whatever" attitude, I guess I pursued her and she must have liked it.
And while I've not actually gone out on a "date" with anyone else since, I've been flirting my butt off and meeting new people as well - again, sorta like my old self. I won't lie, it's nice to be able to report being in a good place for a change. And so, to continue those reports (no matter what may happen) here is my new thread. Thanks for following along and for all of your thoughts and comments!
