Wait for it...

I just submitted my last and final paper for the Fall 2012 semester!  I was expecting a huge rush of relief to wash over me...nope.  I still feel stressed but the source is J.  He left for PR indefinitely this afternoon.  When he called to say goodbye, he was so casual about it that I started to tear up.  It all depends on if American Airlines calls him back to work.  Meanwhile I just have to take the loss.  And it's a great loss.  I was just about to fall in love, I was standing right at the edge looking down on the possibilities.  Now I have to wait and see?!  I don't want to date again, I think I'm going to redirect my energies into balancing school and work for and entire semester and getting in better shape physically.  So that if and when he returns, I won't feel like I haven't changed or made any recognizable progress in my life.  The only reasonable consolation is that famed quoted "it is greater to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

Fight for Me

One month to the day after meeting J, things have fizzled a bit.  The candle burned bright for 30 days.  Too hot, too fast.  Today I felt like a fool.  My first love, he fought for me.  Made me feel worthy of love.  I want J to be my next great love, but I feel inadequate and as if he's stopped trying to fight for me.  Partly it's  relief, romance is incredibly inconvenient when you work 5 days and go to school the other 2.  We fast forwarded the courting and played house a little.  I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoy my alone time.  Who am I supposed to be in a relationship anyway?  I've never known.  I'm good at being aloof, at ending things, but being vulnerable is not my forte.  I'm at a loss.  I didn't move  to FL for melodrama.  Stay tuned.
