The Frightening Face of Freedom

This morning I finally came to grips with the frightening reality that I was finally and completely FREE. This freedom is what I have been (or thought I was) searching for. Only it was a freedom I did not think I needed to pay a price for. I have now discovered that EVERY form of freedom requires sacrifice. My freedom required sacrificing the love of someone that I loved very, very much. A word of advice - there's a reason why that PREVIOUS realtionship fell apart. Let it GO. LEARN from it. In all likelihood, you're NOT getting back together. And IF you do, you'd damn well better hope you both have made some major changes in your lives. Decide your priorities. Make HER more important than all the other girls. Make sure she knows it. Don't be afraid to let her know that you're afraid of things. She is too. But you can't face that fear head on without her knowing what is going on, for her to still be there at the end, after it all goes down. Machismo never built up a relationship.
