10 Years
It's no secret I'm sentimental. Well, it's not if you know me that is. I'm so bad I remember what I wore when and even what folks ordered to eat from special times. Seriously - I have trouble rememberin' stuff from last week or even that morning. But sometimes I just get lost on memory lane.
That was yesterday for me. The funny thing was I didn't want to talk about it. Not at all. In fact I wasn't going to post on it. But as I read last years ponitification I realized how different things are after only one more year.
In my mind.
Oh, I'm still mad at him. I'll probably die mad at him. I guess I'm just not as forgiving as I thought.
And even after the past 4 months - loss of job & home as well as a few other "things" I'm just not willing to mention - my confidence is strong. My pride has taken a beating, but not my spirit. Some folks may look at me and agree with his final words......but that's their loss. I know my value (or at least have a better grasp than I ever have). My desires have changed - it's all about quality. Quantity? Yeah, not what it's cracked up to be - let me tell you.
10 years. It's taken 10 years to admit it's ok. The whole flippin' thing was OK. I firmly believe that we should learn and grow from every experience. To use what we've learned to help others. Period. And trust me - in that case, I got a lot so share, folks.
The last decade has really been all about me. I'm thinkin' it's time to move on.

You're still hot, you're smart, you have a career, you have a place to live, you have a bunch of perverts- err, readers that hang on your every word, and you still look good in a pair of jeans. Millions wish they were there.
