In the midst of my vain efforts not to stare, I watched as her head fell back, her mouth open with laughter while having the same sort of effortless conversation I used to have with your family. <br /><br />She smacked of ease and confidence. Equal parts repulsed and envious, I couldn't help but relate. Because that's the way you act when the someone you want, wants you. Comfortable. As if you belong."</i><br /><br />I've thought this about way too many people. I got this piece. I don't have much to say about it, but this might be one of my favorite things ever. Also really reaffirmed the fact that if you'd write a book, it'd be my favorite. <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705594341140422319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686948984526266288.post-87811406860654336712015-09-16T21:35:31.332-06:002015-09-16T21:35:31.332-06:00They are strange!

I...Never apologize for writing me a novel again. I'm pretty sure that's my love language. Thank you for this! I don't think I've ever actually thought of it that way - how all of the crappy relationships help you to value the real thing. I guess that's pretty obvious, right? I should realized this before. So thanks for teaching me things!meg birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078564242720765023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686948984526266288.post-48167851600560939492015-09-16T16:54:57.423-06:002015-09-16T16:54:57.423-06:00Meg, I LOVE this.

This is something I think everyone has gone through. It's relatable but you presented it in such a fresh way. <br /><br />Time really does wonders for perspective and growth, doesn't it? Looking back on dumb guys who broke my heart and thinking I'd die without them or die alone or no one would ever love me because no one ever HAD loved me convinced me I was broken. And comparing those bozos to what I have now is a joke. The unbelievable love, peace and comfort I feel and the confidence I have in what Cory and I have doesn't even compare. He's he tops and everyone else was a waste of time. <br /><br />It sucks that we have to go through all those dumb "relationships" where we're not appreciated but I'm grateful for them (now, I guess) because they show me how blessed I am to have what I do. To have a man who loves me for me and who is proud to call me his. That's huge. That's everything. <br /><br />BUT REALLY WITH THOSE DUMB HEADBANDS. and i don't know where to put this, but seeing their next girl or wife in real life and have it be like, "really? Her? Huh..." Is kind of the best/most puzzling thing on earth. <br /><br />Sorry for the novel. I think you're great.

As a read itself it was beautifully crafted, but also just the pure honesty and raw emotion in encountering the one who got what you always wanted and thought you needed. I have been there, and it's Hell. But you're right you get through it, for sure. Now I'm married to someone who wants me more than anyone else and ol' what's his name is happy too, but what's better is I know I'm happier without him. Man, things are strange when you realize you've moved on. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813478030682306062noreply@blogger.com
